Ultrafast Optics: From Fundamental Dynamics to Transformative Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on the emerging research results on fundamental dynamics and transformative technologies based on ultrafast optics. Developing ultrafast optics could significantly contribute to multiple fields of ultrafast laser machining, optical imaging, strong-field physics, and more. Therefore, many aspects need further investigation, including advanced optical performance, novel optical interactions, and new optical applications.

This Special Issue will cover a vast scope of research, including the fundamental dynamics of ultrafast optics and transformative technologies based on ultrafast optics; contributions will be solicited on topics including but not limited to the following areas:     

• The fundamental dynamics of ultrafast optics;
• Novel optical phenomena based on ultrafast optics;
• The application of ultrafast optics;
• Optical imaging based on ultrafast optics;
• Strong-field physics based on ultrafast optics.

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.
