Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The investigation of light–matter interactions and nonlinear optics has been a research hotspot in recent years. This area of research has gained significant momentum owing to its pivotal role in advancing technologies across various fields, such as solid-state laser, nonlinear optical microscopy, high-energy physics, and laser surgery/laser therapy. Its aim is to understand the new application of light–matter interactions and nonlinear optics. The development of advanced imaging and spectroscopic methods has further propelled our ability to characterize and engineer materials at an unprecedented level. The scope of this Special Issue includes the latest advances in experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of light–matter interactions and nonlinear effects optics.
Here, we invite original research articles and reviews on these topics. We encourage contributions that explore new aspects of these areas, including but not limited to, the following:
- Solid-state laser technology and their applications
- Nonlinear optics and high-power laser interactions
- Nonlinear optical microscopy
- Mid-IR and long-wave IR nonlinear frequency conversion
- AO systems and component technologies
- Machine learning applications in optical systems
- Deep ultraviolet laser
- Computational imaging techniques in nonlinear optics
- Laser surgery/laser therapy
We believe this Special Issue will offer a thorough overview of the latest advances in high-power lasers, light–matter interactions, and related fields. We eagerly anticipate your contributions.

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-anonymized 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.
