State-of-the-Art Laser Measurement Technologies

Dear Colleagues, 

Laser measurement technologies are widely used for the online measurements of physical, biological, and chemical quantities. In the past years, laser measurement technologies have undergone rapid development because of the emergence of advanced light source and detection strategies. Laser measurement technologies have been adopted in many applications, such as environmental monitoring, industrial process, image diagnosis, and planetary exploration. The most prominent feature of laser measurement technologies is that the measurement is without contact and the speed is ultrafast because of the characteristics of light. Furthermore, the precision of laser-based measurement is attractive. Up until now, various laser measurement methods have been successfully invented for a variety of measuring tasks.

In this Special Issue, papers about laser measurement techniques, especially about some state-of-the-art methods, are welcomed; review articles are also encouraged. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:    

1. Laser sensing
2. Laser imaging
3. Laser diagnostics
4. Laser lidar
5. Laser spectroscopy
6. Laser sources
7. Laser technology

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 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.
