Optics and Lasers
A section of Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417).
Section Information
The section of Optics and Lasers is open to receive high-quality papers reporting state-of-the-art technology in the fields of optics and lasers, which includes non-linear optics such as high-order harmonics, Raman, wave-mixing, multiphoton ionization, as well as other basic phenomena in this field. The section welcomes rudimentary and challenging studies concerning optical devices, such as photonic crystal fibers and micro-scale optics for fabrication of novel optical systems. Needless to say, production of lasers with unique properties, such as a high-power fiber laser or facilitating a large-scale laser system, are of great importance in this section. By contrast, studies focusing on data analyses methods or simulation based on traditional techniques should be sent to a different specialized journal. Download Section Flyer
