Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, remarkable advances have been made in the field of fiber lasers and amplifiers, with the development of increasingly efficient, compact, and low-cost devices operating in the near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) regions. Several fiber lasers and amplifiers exploiting rare-earth-doped materials, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and optical parametric amplification (OPA) have been proposed in the literature. They are based on different glasses (e.g., silicate, germanate, chalcogenide, and fluoride glasses) and can operate both in continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed regimes. Optical pulses were generated by means of gain-switching, Q-switching, and mode-locking techniques. Moreover, numerous mathematical models were developed and employed to investigate and optimize the performance of fiber lasers and amplifiers.
This Special Issue aims to collect the latest theoretical and experimental results about fiber lasers and amplifiers. The submission of both original research papers and review papers is encouraged. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Rare-earth-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers;
- Brillouin fiber lasers and amplifiers;
- Raman fiber lasers and amplifiers;
- Fiber optical parametric oscillators and amplifiers;
- Continuous-wave and pulsed fiber lasers;
- The modeling and optimization of fiber lasers and amplifiers.

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. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
