Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser devices have become essential for a wide range of modern machines, which can be used in a wide range of fields, such as medicine, biology, micromachining processes, industrial manufacturing and high-precision sensing equipment. Due to the intensive applications of laser devices, it can be expected that the demand for new devices, performance enhancement, size reduction, control and stability will be permanently required. This implies that research in the physics and technology behind laser device fabrication and implementation will be quite intensive and valuable. Moreover, edge technology in electronics, control and mechatronics is required to implement practical and functional machines that use laser devices. Furthermore, laser devices can be used in combination with optical components to implement high-performance sensing equipment.
This Special Issue is intended to provide a multidisciplinary forum where researchers and engineers can present their recent advances in the modelling, design and fabrication of laser devices. Additionally, this forum is open to presenting theoretical designs and experimental results of laser sensors. Additionally, in this Special Issue, we welcome works in the field of laser devices stabilization (e.g., intelligent current and temperature drivers, mechatronics actuators).
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following domains:
- Laser physics;
- Microfabrication of laser devices;
- Power lasers;
- Fiber optic lasers;
- Solid-state lasers;
- Pulsed and continuous-wave lasers;
- Unconventional cavity lasers;
- Quantum properties of laser light;
- Design and implementation of laser sensors;
- Current drivers for solid-state lasers;
- Temperature drivers for laser applications.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
