Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Scaling up on-chip diode laser power is of great importance for many emerging applications, such as integrated nonlinear optics, remote sensing, free space communication, infrared counter measure, and light detection and ranging (LIDAR). In recent years, great progress has been made in the power scaling of semiconductor lasers, at both the single emitter and integrated system level. Through new epi, waveguide, and cavity design, the output power of a single semiconductor laser emitter has been greatly increased while maintaining the single spatial mode. By use of various beam combining methods, the power and brightness of semiconductor lasers could be further improved. For this Special Issue, you are invited to submit research papers on advances in the power scaling of semiconductor lasers. Specific areas of interest in the topic include (but are not limited to) the following:
- New epi, waveguide, and cavity design for power scaling;
- Wavelength beam combining;
- Coherent beam combining;
- Direct diode laser systems;
- Hybrid photonic integration for power scaling.

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.
