Low-Dimensional Nanomaterials for Optical and Laser Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Low-dimensional nanomaterials stand as the cornerstones of next-generation laser devices, owing to their exceptional broadband nonlinear optical responses, ultrafast carrier dynamics, and precisely tailorable band structures. These materials have found extensive integration into diverse applications, including saturable absorbers, laser gain media, photodetectors, and optical modulators, thereby driving innovation throughout the field.

We cordially invite the submission of high-quality original research papers and comprehensive review articles that highlight the latest advancements and breakthroughs in the utilization of low-dimensional nanomaterials for laser devices. In particular, we encourage contributions that span a broad spectrum of topics, such as the development of novel synthesis strategies to enhance the performance of low-dimensional materials in laser applications, the exploration of new physical mechanisms underlying their optical and laser functionalities, and the innovative laser devices leveraging these nanomaterials.

This Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration by bringing together experts from materials science, physics, and engineering. By facilitating the exchange of ideas and insights, we seek to collectively address the challenges and develop transformative solutions for advancing low-dimensional nanomaterials in laser technology.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Nonlinear Optical Properties of Low-Dimensional Materials;
• Nonlinear Optical Physics of Low-Dimensional Systems;
• Ultrafast Photonic Devices;
• Mid-infrared Saturable Absorbers.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Nanomaterials 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.
