Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past twenty years, there has been a growing interest in middle infrared (mid-IR) lasers and their applications, which has benefited from the development of laser technology and laser gain medium, including solid-state laser material and fiber. Moreover, these works have promoted the development of related technical applications such as sensing, remote sensing, high-resolution spectroscopy, and so on.
This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences aims to focus on the most recent advancements in mid-IR lasers, from materials to laser sources, and their applications in spectroscopy, trace gas detection, remote sensing, optical microscopy, biomedicine, etc. We will welcome submissions of both original research and review papers.

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.
