Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Elias Snitzer invented the fiber laser in 1961 and demonstrated its use in 1963. In the 1990s, serious commercial applications emerged. At present, fiber lasers are everywhere in today’s society, and fiber lasers and non-linear optics of materials have increasingly attracted attention of scientists and technologists.
Fiber lasers are widely utilized in industrial applications, telecommunications, and medicine due to their high electrical efficiency, cheap maintenance and running costs, and wide range of wavelengths. Today, significant breakthroughs in fiber laser technology are continuously being produced, making it more efficient, powerful, and accessible.
Fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable made of silica glass to guide light. Nonlinear optics of materials is a critical component of high-quality fiber laser generation, and it is expanding rapidly. It is also worth noting that there has been a tremendous amount of research carried out on nonlinear optics, optical materials, and nonlinear optics devices in recent years.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Fiber and fiber-based devices;
- Ultrafast fiber lasers;
- High power fiber lasers;
- Beam combination of lasers;
- Nonlinear optics;
- Second harmonic generation;
- Nonlinear optics devices.
This is an open invitation to contribute to a Special Issue on “Fiber Lasers and Non-Linear Optics of Materials”. We look forward to your submissions.
Dr. Jian Wu
Guest Editor
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. Materials 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 2600 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.
