Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonlinear optics is the foundation for optical frequency generation in regimes that cannot be covered by laser gain media. The nonlinear dynamics in mode-locked lasers, chip-scale waveguides, high-Q microcavities and highly nonlinear semiconductor cavities are critical to the generation of frequency combs, ultrashort pulses and supercontinuum. Nonlinear optics can also be used to enhance resolution in laser micromachining and imaging. Furthermore, nonlinear optics is the basis for nonlinear spectroscopy, including Raman/Brillouin spectroscopy, 2-dimensional spectroscopy and surface second-harmonic generation spectroscopy.
This Special Issue, “Nonlinear Optics”, will welcome basic, methodological and applied cutting-edge research contributions, as well as regular and review papers, dealing with (but not limited to):
- New principles and phenomena in nonlinear light–matter interaction.
- Nonlinear photonics in chip-integrated devices including waveguides and cavities.
- Nonlinear dynamics in optical fibers, coherently pumped fiber cavities and fiber lasers.
- Ultrafast dynamics in mode-locked lasers.
- Applications of nonlinear optics in high-resolution imaging and micromachining.
- Nonlinear frequency comb generation in high-Q microcavities.
- Signal processing using nonlinear optics.
- Nonlinear spectroscopy.
- Quantum photonics based on nonlinear optics.

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.
