Advanced Laser Technologies for Biophotonics

Dear Colleagues,

Recently laser technologies have made a significant impact on biophotonics research and biomedical research, since they provide advanced minimally invasive, cost-effective and rapid techniques for diagnostics, monitoring and treatment of a variety of diseases. Medical devices utilizing minimally invasive laser technology are rapidly finding their way into the mainstream for early disease diagnosis and improved patient acceptance and comfort.

This Special Issue in Electronics will consider for publication reviews and original papers in all disciplines of lasers and photonics in biology and medicine applications. Entitled “Advanced Laser Technologies for Biophotonics”, it will provide a vehicle to help professionals, graduates, engineers, academics, and researchers working in the field of intelligent laser physics, electronics and biophotonics to disseminate information on state-of-the-art techniques.

We invite researchers to contribute original research articles as well as review articles to focused on advanced laser technologies for biophotonics applications. Submissions can focus on the research concept or applied research in topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• In vitro and in vivo studies of tissue optical and structural properties using UV, visible and NIR spectroscopy
• Laser-induced fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy of biological objects;
• Polarization-sensitive techniques for biological sample examination;
• Optical coherence tomography and elastography of biological tissues;
• Confocal and nonlinear optical microscopy of cells;
• Photoacoustic and Doppler tomography of biological objects;
• Laser–biological matter interactions: principles and applications (hyperthermia, ablation, vaporization, etc.);
• Low-level laser therapy—principles and applications;
• Laser micro- and nanotechnologies in medicine and biophotonics;
• Optical sensing of blood, microcirculation and laser speckle contrast imaging;
• Tissue optical clearing;
• Terahertz applications in biology and medicine.

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. Electronics 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.
