Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lasers have become indispensable in nanotechnology, enabling precise control and manipulation of nanostructures, which has driven significant advancements across various scientific and engineering disciplines. Notably, pulsed fiber lasers utilizing two-dimensional materials as saturable absorbers have revolutionized the field. These lasers offer high peak power and narrow pulse widths, making them crucial for precision applications, with materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides showing enhanced performance, leading to broader uses in telecommunications and materials processing.
Furthermore, lasers play a pivotal role in nanostructured light emitters, such as semiconductor nanostructures like quantum dots and quantum dashes, which are vital for high-performance photonic devices. The unique quantum phenomena at the nanoscale, facilitated by lasers, enable applications in quantum information systems and integrated photonic technologies.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest findings on laser–nanostructure interactions. We welcome the submission of contributions in the form of original research articles, reviews, and technical notes covering topics from fundamental theories to practical applications in photonics, catalysis, and biosensing. Ultimately, we hope that this Special Issue will foster collaboration and advance the field of nanotechnology.

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.
