Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mode-locked fiber lasers (ML-FL) are low-cost and multipurpose sources which produce a variety of optical pulses that are attractive for applications. According to how they modify intracavity losses, these lasers may be divided into two classes. On the one hand, there are the actively mode-locked FLs, which employ an acousto-optic/electro-optic modulator synchronized with the round-trip time of the cavity, to form a regular pulse train. On the other hand, there are the passively mode-locked FLs, where pulse formation relies on the use of a physical or artificial saturable absorber (SA). Graphene, carbon nanotubes, alcohols, and SESAM are a few examples of physical SAs, whereas the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) and nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR), both exploiting the Kerr effect in fiber, serve as artificial SAs.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that introduce the recent advances in “Mode-Locking Fiber Laser”. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental papers are accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Actively/passively mode-locked fiber laser;
- Complex dynamics;
- Bioimaging;
- Dark/bright solitons;

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.
