Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultra-fast (picosecond, femtosecond) laser processing techniques utilize ultrafast laser pulses with high peak power and short pulse widths to modify materials. The femtosecond laser has been widely used in the processing and research of glass, ceramics, crystals, polymers, and other optical materials. It also has an important impact on the development of medicine, biology, material processing, and other fields. The use of ultra-fast laser processing technology to process optical materials has attracted widespread attention in the fields of scientific research and technological processing.
Therefore, we are announcing a Special Issue on “Advancements in Laser Machining and Optical Materials” and invite original contributions to capture the current state of research related to optical material processing and manufacturing technologies. The scope of this Special Issue covers, but is not limited to, understanding, modeling, monitoring, and controling material behaviors during ultrafast laser ablation or refractive index modifications; process condition optimization; surface texturing or functionalization; and developments of sensors and devices using ultrafast lasers, product innovations, and applications.
We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts for this Special Issue on “Advancements in Laser Machining and Optical Materials” in the form of full research papers, communications, and review articles. We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Hongfang Chen
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.
