Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have entered an era of gravitational wave astronomy marked with a series of discoveries of gravitational wave signals from coalescence of binary black holes and compact binaries. These discoveries, enabled by laser interferometer detectors, Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo and the rich science behind, have sparked broad interest in improving detector sensitivity and exploring techniques aiming at all different frequency bands.
The gravitational wave detection projects cover signals from nano-Hertz to kilo-Hertz with different methods. The pulsar timing method is for exceptionally low frequencies. The atom interferometer is another proposed method for gravitational wave detection. This Special Issue entitled “Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detector”s focuses on a more specific topic, the laser interferometer targeting for signals from tenth of milli-Hertz to kilo-Hertz. There are both ground-based and space-based detectors. This Special Issue is to provide a platform to share the remarkable studies of instrumental science and recording recent developments. We aim to collect both review and research articles on fundamental theories, technological developments, and prospective ideas for the future. Connections to the astrophysical targets and even possibly different subdisciplines of physics are encouraged. While we intend to build more interactions with research on gravitational wave sources and astrophysics, we also bring more attention to the development of the instrumental part in the field of gravitational waves.

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. Galaxies 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 1400 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.
