Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The unique helical phase distribution of the vortex laser field is widely used in many advanced technological fields. In nanoparticles, the orbital angular momentum of the vortex laser can manipulate nanoparticles and living cells, making a breakthrough contribution to biomedicine. In information transmission, vortex beams have functions like ultra-high-density optical data storage, imaging, and metrology, and have good prospects in free space communication. With the deepening of research on quantum optics, the development of quantum communication, computing, measurement, and sensing also relies on vortex lasers. There are many types of vortex lasers, such as semiconductor lasers, fiber lasers, and all-solid-state lasers, which can output different types of vortex lasers in different wavebands. The performance improvement and application exploration of vortex lasers involve multiple disciplines, like optics, materials science, electronics, communication engineering, information science, and biology.
This Special Issue aims to publish selected articles on vortex lasers and their applications. Possible topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Vortex laser design;
- Design and simulation of vortex light transmission model;
- Vortex optical communication technology;
- Future development of vortex lasers;
- Applications of vortex 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 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.
