Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the first ruby laser invented by Ted Maiman in 1960, lasers have experienced rapid development attributed to the efforts paid by people in the related subjects. Up to now, various kinds of lasers have been developed, such as solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, semiconductor lasers, molecular lasers, and even nanolasers from the view of state of gain medium. The average output power of up to tens of mega-watts, pulse duration as short as in scale of attoseconds, and pulse peak power of tens of peta-watts have been realized for extreme scientific research. Moreover, lasers have gained wide applications in the fields of industrial processing, telecommunications, data storage and transmission, holography, display, medicine, and more. Nevertheless, novel kinds of miniaturized lasers and applications towards the microscale are still highly expected.
With the development of lasers, optoelectronic technology is bound to become a pillar industry in the 21st century. It has covered not only the traditional consumer products (such as detectors, photographic imaging, laser printing, power devices, DVDs, photovoltaic cells, LCD and OEL flat panel displays, etc.) but also novel quantum entanglement effects and applications, and has entered into more daily life. In recent years, the emergence of low-dimensional nanomaterials (such as carbon, phosphorous elements, chalcogenides, perovskites, etc.) in types of nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanolayers, has made optoelectronic devices prosper, which have exhibited excellent performance in optical emission, detection, and modulations. Benefitting from the achievements in lasers and optoelectronics, many related research fields have gained much progress, for example, photochemistry is a speed-up field endued with bright future prospects. Therefore, this Special Issue is mainly collecting the latest original research articles as well as in-depth and forward-looking review articles in the fields of lasers, optoelectronics, photochemistry, and their applications. In addition, if remaining within the scope of the interaction between the laser and materials, the related research articles can also be considered for this Special Issue.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
