Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the first demonstration, numerous solid-state lasers operating from the UV to the mid-IR wavelengths have been implemented, based on different ions and host materials, and on different regimes: pulsed or continuous waves. Solid-state lasers play a fundamental role in many contemporary fields of science and industry, from material processing to ultrafast sensing, despite recent progresses in the development of fiber-based and semiconductor lasers. Many exciting developments are pushing the current limits of solid-state lasers, in order to increase power, cover new spectral regions, or reduce environmental footprints and power consumption.
This Special Issue invites authors to submit original research and review articles on recent developments in the field of solid-state lasers, including, but not limited to, novel optical materials, organic active materials, solid-state frequency combs, saturable absorbers, and laser dynamics.

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. Optics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
