Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on laser–matter interactions aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and laser users and manufacturers to show their recent progress in laser science and technology, especially in laser-matter interaction.
This Special Issue will cover all new advances in laser–matter interaction coupled with recent applications of emerging materials. The main objective is to revisit the basic phenomena involved in the interaction of a wide range of laser systems, new and efficient devices including smart optics, high- and low-repetition-rate processing, as well as high and low beam fluences. This Special Issue will consider recent progress in laser-assisted additive fabrication, nano-LIPSS formation, laser LIFT of biological materials and systems, and more emerging techniques. All contributions on laser interaction with hard, soft, and smart materials, targeting future applications from nano-energy to biomedicine as well as recent progress on fundamental mechanisms are welcome to the special issue.
The submissions should concern, but are not limited to, the following topics：
- Lasers in nanotechnology and environmental technology;
- Laser hybrid processing;
- Laser manufacturing for alternative energy sources;
- Laser 3D micro-structuring for MEMS, MOEMS, photonic crystals, and photonic applications;
- Laser-induced forward transfer of functional materials for organic electronics and sensing applications;
- Laser-assisted fabrication for sensors (biological, chemical, and environmental);
- Ultra-short, ultra-high-power laser interaction with matter: fundamentals and applications in biology and materials science;
- Laser processing of materials: thin film growth and particle production; subwavelength laser produced structures for smart optical, electro-optical, electronic and biological devices; laser-induced nanostructures: from theory to applications;
- Time-resolved diagnostics for laser processing; multiphoton-based processing techniques;
- Diode lasers for processing and pumping;
- Laser process monitoring and control, laser processing of biological materials.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
