Novel Laser Technologies and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in high-power laser technology have introduced novel phenomena and mechanisms in materials. To reveal the complex high-temperature and high-pressure physical processes with significant multiphase, multiscale and multifield coupling characteristics, we require advanced computational methods, diagnostic technologies and artificial intelligent (AI) technology. This understanding could accelerate the application of high-power lasers in various industrial sectors, such as advanced manufacturing, thermal protection, rock removal, laser cleaning, laser weapons, and a wide range of other areas.

This Special Issue aims to be a forum for the presentation of the latest developments in basic and applied research in the field of laser interaction with matter. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Phenomena and mechanisms of laser ablation and damage;
• Theoretical, numerical and experimental characterization;
• Laser irradiation effect and mechanism;
• Laser spectrum technology and applications;
• High-power 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 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-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.
