Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The investigation of nonlinear optical materials can be traced back to the mid-20th century. As laser technology advanced, scientists began to observe strange changes in the optical characteristics of materials exposed to high-intensity laser irradiation. For instance, quartz crystals exhibited a nonlinear optical phenomenon called second harmonic generation for the first time when exposed to focused laser irradiation, which sparked widespread interest in nonlinear optical materials and effects. In the 1970s, additional nonlinear optical effects such as self-focusing, optical phase conjugation, and optical modulation were discovered in various materials. Due to the field's rapid development in recent decades, exploring novel nonlinear optical materials with high performance has become a central focus across a wide range of domains, from fundamental science to practical applications.
Considering these advancements, the current Special Issue of "Nanomaterials" welcomes submissions on the state of nonlinear optical material research. This Special Issue aims to present the most recent research findings in nonlinear optical materials, including new phenomena, novel devices, advanced materials, and innovative applications, etc., to enable academia and industry to better understand and apply this exciting field.
Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel nonlinear optical materials and nonlinear optical effects;
- New nonlinear optical materials for ultrafast, THz photonics and frequency conversion;
- Nanocrystalline materials, 2D materials and topological materials;
- Nonlinear dynamics and attosecond process;
- Nonlinear optics material for machine learning, deep learning, and neural network.

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.
