Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrafast laser pulses are widely demanded in the biomedical field and for materials processing because of their large peak power and capability for ultrahigh-precision fabrication. The duration of ultrafast laser pulses is typically defined as several tens of femtoseconds to tens of picoseconds. Ultrafast pulses are usually generated by passive mode-locked lasers or optical parametric amplifiers, and can also be obtained by pulse compression using longer pulses. Obtaining stable ultrafast laser pulses and the physical mechanism of pulse formation are very important research issues.
Topics to be discussed in this Special Issue include but are not limited to: ultrafast pulse formation in mode-locked lasers or micro-ring resonant cavities, ultrashort pulse generation with pulse compression techniques, interaction of ultrafast laser pulses with materials, nonlinear interactions between ultrashort pulses, supercontinuum generation, and noise and stability of ultrafast laser pulses.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
