Quantum Effect in Interaction between Femtosecond Pulse and Matters

Dear Colleagues,

The interaction between femtosecond laser pulses and matters leads to numerous nonlinear and quantum optics phenomena, such as multiphoton/tunneling ionization, fluorescence, terahertz, high-order harmonic generation. The pulse shaping technique makes the femtosecond pulses more powerful to study the interaction between femtosecond pulses and matters. Especially, the emergence of optical vortex endowed the femtosecond pulses with orbital angular momentum. Since the light intrinsically carries spin angular momentum, as femtosecond pulses carry orbital angular momentum and interact with matters (atoms, molecules, and material with micro-nano structure, etc.), spin-orbital coupling occurs, which brings about new quantum and nonlinear effects. This opens up tremendous new applications in optical tweezers and particle trapping, microscopy and imaging, high-capacity optical communication and cryptography and so on.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Quantum Beam Science 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 1600 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.
