Applied Physics B - Topical Issue: Europhoton 2022

New Content Item

This topical issue covers the latest breakthroughs in the field of solid-state, fibre and waveguide light sources. Included papers covers the topics explored at the 10th EPS-QEOD Europhoton (this opens in a new tab) conference to be held in Hannover, Germany (August 28th - September 2nd, 2022).

Two broad topics are covered at Europhoton, ‘Solid-State Lasers’ and ‘Fibre and Waveguide Devices’. Furthermore, this year’s special symposium at the conference is dedicated to ‘AI in laser science’. As such this Europhoton 2022 topical issue focuses on developments at the frontiers of these fields capturing the state of the art, and new directions and systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Novel concepts in laser and amplifier architectures 
  • Upconversion, tunable, and ultrafast solid-state lasers 
  • Developments in average- and peak-power scaling 
  • Novel nonlinear (Parametric, Raman etc.) oscillators and amplifiers
  • Exploration of new spectral regimes, including nonlinear conversion
  • Growth, characterisation, and spectroscopic investigations of nonlinear and solid-state-laser materials
  • Novel fibre and waveguide concepts, fabrication, and characterisation
  • Waveguided broadband and super-continuum light sources

Authors of accepted papers at the Europhoton conference were invited to submit an extended manuscript to this topical issue, thus providing an opportunity to report at greater depth the highlights reported in the proceedings of, and at, the conference itself.

All manuscripts were subject to a standard peer review procedure with respect to their degree of novelty, relevance, and quality of presentation. All papers are grouped together in the Collections tab of the journal webpage or found here (this opens in a new tab). The complete collection will be made freely available for three months following the publication of the final accepted paper. Free-to-author Open-Access publishing is available to authors through their institutional’ s OA agreements (this opens in a new tab) with Springer Nature.
