Semiconductor Lasers and Their Biomedical Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Applied Biosciences and Bioengineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Semiconductor lasers are the fastest growing class of lasers. They are widely applied for pumping of solid states and fiber lasers and actively used in medicine. The unique properties of these lasers make it possible to create new original laser and biomedical technologies. In some cases, the use of semiconductor lasers makes it possible for already known medical procedures to be more effective, safe, painless, simple, and cheap. Semiconductor lasers can be used for ablation and coagulation of hard and soft biological tissues during surgical treatment, optical diagnostics of tissues, tissue regeneration, tissue bonding, photodynamic therapy and diagnostics of various diseases, drug delivery, etc. With this Special Issue, we aim to provide a selection of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives reporting the latest advancements in the design of semiconductor lasers and their biomedical applications.

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.
