Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mode-locked lasers are considered: innovative, efficient, and versatile equipment used in medical, industrial, and scientific areas. Passively mode-locking fiber lasers are simple, compact, and low-cost sources that have long been studied to produce a wide variety of optical pulses like conservative solitons and similaritons, dissipative solitons, noise-like pulses, or pulse bursts. These lasers allow the study of some less stationary regimes including the study of extraordinary optical events. In addition, due to the behavior already mentioned, the development of diverse applications in the fundamental mode locking operation has also been carried out; for instance, low-coherence spectral interferometry, materials processing, sensing, bio-imaging, and supercontinuum generation. Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mode-Locked lasers.
- Complex dynamics pulses.
- Laser dynamics.
- Supercontinuum generation.
- Laser sensors.
- Laser systems automation.
- Pulsed laser applications.
Articles, perspectives, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
