Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research on ultrafast lasers and the corresponding light-matter interaction represents an emerging frontier. In the recent decade, ultrafast lasers with unique specifications such as spectral range (UV to THz), pulse width (ps to a few cycles), and average power (hundreds of or even kilowatts) have been explored. Subsequently, more advanced applications of light-matter interaction based on the developed ultrafast lasers are pursued, and among which ultrafast laser micro-nano machining has both great scientific value and remarkable industrial impact. With special ultrafast lasers, laser-matter interaction in the territories of new materials for instance alloys, transparent materials, composite materials, biomaterials, new specifications such as extreme aspect ratio, and new functions for example fabrication of three-dimensional structures and microfluid channels, could be investigated. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight the progress in ultrafast laser and its applications in light-matter interaction and micro-nano machining.
Topics include:
- Novel ultrafast lasers
- High-power ultrafast amplifiers
- Mid-infrared and terahertz ultrafast lasers
- Light-matter interaction based on novel ultrafast lasers
- Micro-nano machining based on advanced ultrafast lasers

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
