Advances in Quantum Beams, Photonic Sources and Laser‑Driven Systems

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will publish papers on Optics, Photonics and Lasers share advances spanning optical materials, photonic and optoelectronic devices, lasers, metrology, and applications across the spectrum (UV to THz).

Contributions may address fundamentals, instrumentation, and applications, particularly where optical and photonic technologies enable new capabilities in beam facilities—or where quantum beams provide unique insights into photonic materials and devices.

Topics of interest include advanced photon sources (synchrotron radiation, free-electron lasers), high-power and ultrafast lasers, laser–matter interactions, beam diagnostics and optical metrology, detectors and instrumentation, X-ray/neutron/electron methods for photonic materials, integrated and computational photonics for beam experiments, and related emerging applications. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review according to the journal’s standard procedures.

Guest Editor

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Quantum Beam Science is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1600 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.
