Advancements in Optics and Laser Measurement

Dear Colleagues,

The field of optics and laser measurement has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, with new methodologies, innovative technologies, and applications emerging across various industries. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research developments in the area of optics and laser measurement techniques, particularly those that push the boundaries of precision, efficiency, and versatility.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit high-quality papers that highlight recent works in optical sensing technologies, laser-based measurement systems, and their applications in fields such as manufacturing, metrology, biomedical imaging, environmental monitoring, and more. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Novel laser measurement techniques and systems
• Advances in optical interferometry and metrology
• High-resolution 3D surface measurement and profiling
• Laser-based imaging systems and optical sensing technologies
• Non-contact measurement technologies in industrial and medical fields
• Laser scanning and 3D reconstruction techniques
• Development of compact and portable laser measurement devices
• Integration of optics and laser systems with AI and machine learning
• Advances in optical and laser systems for environmental monitoring

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. 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.
