Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue dedicated to “Ultrafast Laser Nonlinear Dynamics”, which has served as a foundation for not only ground-breaking scientific findings but also enabling numerous practical applications. The fascinating landscape of ultrafast laser nonlinear dynamics are composed of basic material properties and light–matter interactions including nonlinear optical susceptibility and photon–phonon interaction. Novel light sources continuously enhance human’s perception capability with the shortest event created by leveraging high harmonic generation. For further real-world application, integrating ultrafast laser nonlinear dynamics into other fields would generate novel solutions for disease diagnosis/treatment, material processing, optical sensing, etc.
Through publishing this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the state-of-the-art in the field of ultrafast laser nonlinear dynamics. The advance of this field is co-cultivated by innovations in nonlinear material, laser material, laser technology, and nonlinear theories.
We invite interested researchers to disseminate your innovative work in this Special Issue. This Special Issue accepts both original research papers and review papers. Theoretical, numerical, and experimental works are accepted. The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Nonlinear material design, fabrication, and characterization.
- Novel laser material.
- Ultrafast laser generation.
- Frequency conversion.
- Ultrafast laser imaging/bio-imaging.
- Ultrafast laser machining.
We look forward to your valuable 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 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.
