Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in high-power laser systems and laser coherence detection technologies, covering all aspects from materials to light sources and applications. We aim to collate new developments in high-power lasers and laser coherence detection technologies, as well as their applications in industry, spectroscopy, remote sensing, optical microscopy, biomedicine, and other fields. We welcome contributions from all researchers involved in mid-infrared laser technology studies, including, but not limited to, the following research areas:

  • High-power laser devices;
  • Applications of high-power lasers;
  • Laser coherence detection technologies and applications;
  • Sensing;
  • Laser processing;
  • Optical microscopy;
  • Biomedicine.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.

This study presents an experimental evaluation of different optical fibers for soft-tissue laser ablation using an Echolaser system, developed by Elesta S.p.A., for minimally invasive therapies. Eight fibers with varying core diameters, numerical apertures, and tip geometries (flat, conical radial, and spherical) were compared to investigate the influence of optical properties on the ablation dimensions and thermal profiles. The experiments were conducted at 1064 nm with powers of 3, 5, and 7 W and delivered energies ranging from 1200 to 3600 J. The results highlight how the fiber characteristics affect tissue ablation, identifying the configurations suitable for minimally invasive prostate applications. These findings provide an experimental reference for the development of laser-based biomedical approaches. Full article
