Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrashort light pulses are indispensable in micromachining, metrology and medical instrumentation, amongst other applications. Likewise, outstanding research closely linked to the field has been recognized by numerous prestigious awards, for example the Nobel Prizes for femtochemistry (Ahmed Zewail 1999), optical frequency combs (John L. Hall and Theodor Hänsch 2005) and chirped pulse amplification (Donna Strickland and Gerard Mourou 2018). Ultrashort light pulses are subject of an extraordinary success story. It began in the early 1960s, shortly after the invention of the laser, and has not lost any of its excitement. Novel technologies are developed and new applications emerge, ranging from fundamental science to market-ready products.
This Special Issue targets a collection of innovative research papers that cover the great variety of ultrafast laser science and technology. The topics include, but are not limited to:
- Generation and amplification of ultrashort pulses;
- Solid-state and fiber ultrafast lasers;
- Carrier-envelope phase stabilization and ultrafast frequency combs;
- Ultrafast lasers at large-scale facilities;
- Ultrafast secondary sources;
- Characterization of ultrashort pulses;
- Ultrafast nonlinear optics;
- Spectroscopy and microscopy with ultrashort pulses;
- Communications with ultrashort pulses;
- Fundamental science with ultrafast 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. 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.
