Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrafast fiber lasers have been one of the most intensively developed topics over the past decade due to their potential applications, including material processing, medicine, laser spectroscopy, and mid-infrared source generation. Saturable absorber (SA) is the key component for passively mode-locked fiber lasers. In order to generate ultrafast pulses, passively mode-locked lasers with different SAs have been intensively investigated. To date, different types of nanomaterials with intensity-dependent transmission properties have been used as SAs to generate ultrafast pulses at different wavelengths. However, the reported nanomaterials presented the properties that limited their performances as ultrafast lasers. Hence, it is significant to prepare an SA based on nanomaterials for constructing ultrafast fiber lasers.
This Special Issue aims to explore several outstanding nanomaterials for SA applications in ultrafast pulse generations. Moreover, as the ultrafast pulses transmit through optical fibers, interesting nonlinear devices would be formed. Combining the pulses with nanomaterials, various fiber laser sensing applications could be demonstrated.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
