Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decades, there has been tremendous progress in the field of ultrafast laser spectroscopy. State-of-the-art ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, based on fs lasers, allow us to disentangle complex kinetic processes by providing great temporal resolution, high accuracy and broadband spectral coverage of the photogenerated species. Nowadays, ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy is a valuable tool for investigating ultrafast light–matter interactions and for evaluating the nature and dynamics of the excited states in a great variety of materials for applications in, e.g., photovoltaic cells, light-emitting diodes, transistors, sensors, etc.
This Special Issue aims to show recent advances in ultrafast spectroscopy focusing on novel materials and techniques. Contributions are welcome from leading scientists and researchers and should concern various fields of ultrafast spectroscopy such as:
Techniques: transient absorption, transient fluorescence, fs IR spectroscopy, 2DES, photon echo, OKE, FSRS, photoelectron spectroscopy, etc.
Materials: chromophores, donor-acceptor systems, polymers, multichromophores, biomolecules, self-assembly, supramolecular assemblies, perovskites, quantum dots, 2D materials, semiconductors, nanoparticles–nanorods, light-harvesting systems, etc.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
