Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of ultrafast lasers has undergone enormous growth in recent years, leading to the development of new scientific and industrial applications. The capability to generate extremely short pulses has revolutionized areas such as spectroscopy, imaging, and material processing. At the same time, the exploration of nonlinear optical phenomena has opened new frontiers in the development of novel light-generating sources, implementing and refining techniques ranging from frequency conversion and mixing to high-harmonic generation.
This Special Issue, titled “Ultrafast Lasers and Nonlinear Optics”, seeks to present cutting-edge research and developments in the design, implementation, and application of ultrafast laser systems, as well as the exploration of nonlinear optical effects. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of this dynamic field, covering a broad range of topics, from the development of novel laser sources to the practical applications of nonlinear optics in modern technology.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Ultrafast solid-state laser design;
- Ultrafast fiber laser design;
- Ultrafast lasers for spectroscopy applications;
- Ultrafast lasers for imaging applications;
- Nonlinear harmonic generation;
- Nonlinear frequency conversion and mixing;
- Novel sources based on nonlinear optics.

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. Photonics 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.
