Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-power lasers, which are used in many optical systems, cover the basics and realization of, as well as materials for, high-power laser systems and high-power radiation interactions with matter. The physical and technical fundamentals of high-intensity laser optics and adaptive optics, and the related physical processes in high-intensity laser systems, are explained.
This Special Issue seeks to uncover the underlying science and engineering in the fields of high-energy density physics, high-power lasers, and advanced laser technology, applications, and laser components. Specifically, papers dealing with laser–plasma interactions, ultra-intense pulse laser interactions with matter, attosecond physics, laser design, modeling, and optimization, laser amplifiers, nonlinear optics, laser engineering, optical materials, optical devices, fiber lasers, diode-pumped solid-state lasers and excimer lasers, etc., are solicited. Researchers are invited to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-power laser systems.
- High-power radiation interactions with matter.
- Laser welding.
- Laser beam characterization and measurement of laser beam parameters.
- Materials for high-power lasers.
- Laser–material interactions.
- High-speed imaging.
- Thermal lensing and optic design approaches.

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.
