Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the interaction between a strong femtosecond laser and gaseous or solid targets, many ultrahigh-order nonlinear phenomena can occur, such as high harmonic generation, tunneling ionization, double ionization, laser-induced electron diffraction, laser-induced ultrafast current, etc. To model the experimentally detected signal, the most reliable method is solving a time-dependent Schrӧdinger equation (TDSE) or some other expanded dynamic equation. Many semi-analytic models were also developed to help people understand the physical process more clearly.
Indeed, the output signal is largely governed by the symmetry property of the target. Thus, it is natural to analyze the data obtained experimentally or numerically from the viewpoint of symmetry. As people obtain more and more knowledge about the connection between the symmetry property of the target and the feature of an ultrafast signal, it becomes easier to predict the characteristics of the output signal. Additionally, the ultrafast output signal could be an effective tool to detect the symmetry property of an unknown target. In particular, to achieve the ultrafast time resolution of monitoring phase transitions with the symmetry property changed, it is critical to study the causal relationship between the symmetry property of the sample and the features of the output signal.

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. Symmetry 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.
