Recent Advances in Nonlinear Optics and Nonlinear Optical Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The First National Conference on Nonlinear Optical Technology and Applications (NLOTA-2021) will be arranged for the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the realization of the first laser in China (1961) and the foundation of nonlinear optics theory (1961). The congress will be held in Changsha, China, on 15–17 June 2021. This Joint Special Issue is sponsored by the conference of "The First National Conference on Nonlinear Optical Technology and Applications" and the journals Molecules and Photonics. This Special Issue aims to survey the state-of-the-art aspects of nonlinear optics and nonlinear optical materials, including quantum effects, in many different photonic systems during the meeting. The Special Issue will collect original researches and review papers in the range of nonlinear optics, such as the second-order and third-order nonlinear optical materials, photonics and photonic nanostructures, metamaterials, metasurfaces, plasmonics, and advances in the control of optical fields, to strongly enhance the interaction of photons with quantum emitters. It also addresses novel materials and novel effects, including nonlinear optics at low intensity. In addition, this Special Issue welcomes researchers to submit manuscripts on the applications of nonlinear phenomena, nonlinear imaging and manipulation, devices and systems, the fundamental aspects of nonlinear dynamics in single or coupled photonic devices, polariton condensates, optomechanical systems, etc.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Molecules and Photonics.

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.
