Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Laser interferometers have received a lot of interest as a precise measurement instrument because of their remarkable measurement accuracy, high stability, and non-contact measurement properties. They can precisely measure physical quantities such as length, displacement, velocity, acceleration, rotation speed, and gravitational waves, even at the nanoscale scale. Laser interferometers are effective for many precision measurement jobs, whether in a laboratory for assessing minute physical changes or for monitoring product quality on industrial manufacturing lines.
To fully leverage the advantages of high-precision laser interferometers over traditional measurement tools, it is crucial to delve into and explore their performance in various measurement scenarios.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research on the instruments and techniques of laser interferometers in different measurement contexts, with particular emphasis on their applications in precision measurement and fundamental physics research. We seek papers on the use of laser interferometers in various measurement scenarios, such as precision engineering measurements, fundamental physics research, and multi-dimensional measurement systems. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Laser frequency stabilization technology.
- Novel designs and optimizations of laser interferometers.
- Applications of laser interferometers in precision engineering measurements.
- Laser interferometer technologies in fundamental physics research.
- Integration and synchronization of multi-dimensional measurement systems.
- Laser interferometers in quality control on industrial production lines.
- Laser interference signal processing technology.

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.
