The laser was invented in 1960. In the ensuing 62 years, this device has become an integral part of daily life, from the supermarket scanner to LIDAR to the reading of CDs and DVDs and beyond. At the same time, the laser has become an invaluable tool in many fields of science and engineering, used in applications such as spectroscopy, imaging, and nanofabrication.
The goal of this Research Topic is to celebrate the latest advances in lasers, from the design and fabrication of lasers and laser-based devices with ever-greater capabilities to cutting-edge applications in spectroscopy, the fabrication and modification of materials, additive and subtractive manufacturing, optical imaging, and more.
This Research Topic is being sponsored by Frontiers in Nanotechnology, and is a cross-collaboration with Frontiers in Physics, Frontiers in Chemistry, and Frontiers in Materials. Authors can submit to the journal that is most appropriate for the topic of their paper.
