Advancements in Fiber Lasers and Their Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Fiber lasers, as third-generation lasers, are widely used in material processing, optical communication, fiber sensing, and other fields in recent years because of their excellent beam quality and high optical conversion efficiency. In the last decade, numerous theoretical and experimental results have been reported on the generation of mode-locked lasers, continuous high-power tunable fiber lasers, and ultrafast fiber laser communications. However, the practical application of fiber laser technology still faces many challenges, such as pulse compression and amplification technology, frequency stabilization, and noise suppression of mode-locked pulses. This Special Issue, “Advancements in Fiber Lasers and Their Applications”, welcomes fundamental methodological and applied cutting-edge research contributions. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• High-power fiber lasers;
• Ultrafast fiber lasers;
• Tunable fiber lasers;
• Narrow-linewidth fiber lasers;
• Mid-infrared fiber lasers;
• Frequency combs;
• Fiber laser applications.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
