Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbon-based materials are relatively abundant and universal on Earth as compared to other elements or composites. Various carbon-based materials with micro- and nano-structures have been successively developed with cost-effective and easy production for optoelectronic applications. These carbon-based materials exhibit large thermal conductivity and high thermodynamic stability to allow high-optical-power operation with low damage. Because of these advantages, carbon-based materials are utilized as saturable absorbers for mode-locked lasers. Mode-locked lasers significantly impact academic and industrial research applications. They have been comprehensively applied to various fields for optical high-speed communications, biophotonic and biomedical imaging, high-speed sensing and detection, chemical/physical/material dynamic analyses, and semiconductor processing for developments of future technologies. At present, studies related to mode-locked lasers using micro- or nano-carbon-based saturable absorbers are still being reported.
This Special Issue aims at presenting original state-of-the-art research articles on carbon-based mode-locked fiber lasers and their applications. Researchers are invited to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Carbon nanotubes;
- Graphene;
- Graphene oxide;
- Graphite;
- Charcoal;
- Carbon black;
- Diamond;
- Saturable absorbers;
- Nonlinear dynamics;
- Mode-locked lasers;
- Passive mode locking;
- Q-switched fiber 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. Micromachines 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 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.
