Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we all know, laser spectroscopy has delivered new possibilities with the characterization of various materials, including optical and nonlinear optical (NLO) features. Since the very first laser was constructed, many new alternatives have been devised, with extraordinary experiments be performed in our labs. Starting from laser microscopy, and extending to various NLO effects (2nd or 3rd order), and finally considering all kinds of light amplification studies, it is obvious that lasers has revolutionized many fields of science (among others). From these reasons, I would like to cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue (SI) of the Molecules journal entitled: “Laser Spectroscopic Characterization of Organic Chromophores”. The SI is dedicated to both experimental and theoretical approaches considering laser light as the source for the investigated phenomena. Classical laser action has been already entirely described; however, during the last few decades, new types of lasing action have been observed. One such example is the random lasing (RL) phenomenon, where the effect is slightly different than the one previously mentioned. More than one laser mode is responsible for effective optical resonator forming. The RL effect can also be related to nanoparticles, or the presence of liquid crystals within active material, which opens new possibilities and features of modern-type lasing devices. All kinds of laser action starts from the efficient light amplification inside (or simply using) the optical resonators differently constructed. Moreover, any kind of new approaches toward laser devices architectures is also of interest in the current SI. Additionally, laser spectroscopic methods implemented to characterize new materials, especially organic chromophores, are invited. Finally, all kinds of experiments where a laser source is implemented and which can provide new insights into various phenomena, their mechanisms, or unknown materials perfectly fit into the present Molecules Special Issue, which it is my great pleasure to lead.

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. Molecules 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 2700 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.
