Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser-based spectroscopic techniques represent a paradigm shift in analytical methodologies, offering unprecedented precision and sensitivity in the study of matter.
The interaction between lasers and matter, whether through fluorescence emission (LIF, LIAF), Raman scattering, infrared absorption (FTIR), or other mechanisms (LIBS, CRDS), forms the foundation for extracting valuable information about the composition, structure, and dynamics of materials.
Recent years have witnessed the rise of novel laser-based techniques pushing the boundaries of spectroscopy. Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and coherent anti-stokes Raman scattering (CARS) bring unprecedented capabilities for studying ultrafast dynamics and non-linear processes, respectively. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) introduces a new border, offering insights into materials inaccessible to other spectroscopic methods.
This Special Issue delves not only into the core aspects of these cutting-edge techniques and their diverse applications, but also focused on the advances in precision and versatility of the spectroscopic techniques which have already reached maturity.
Novelty aspects include the miniaturization of equipment, enhanced portability, and broader accessibility. Also, anticipated developments include heightened sensitivity, real-time imaging capabilities, and further integration with emerging technologies like quantum sensing and communication.

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.
