Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser ablation has been an active research field for some time, resulting not only in an improved understanding of the underpinning physics but, importantly, also in the development of multiple applications in a wide range of fields, from engineering to physics and from chemistry to biology and medicine. This Special Issue intends to display the highlights from this broad research field to a multidisciplinary audience by presenting some of the recent advances. Both original research papers and review articles describing state-of-the-art innovations in this research field are welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Fundamentals of laser–material interactions (solid, liquid, and gas)
- Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
- Laser surgery, laser scalpels
- Pulsed laser deposition
- Laser cutting, engraving, cleaning
- Ultrafast laser ablation
- Laser printing, 3D printing, laser-induced forward transfer
- Laser-based photon sources
- Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
- Surface micro/nanostructuring

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.
