In the last two decades the fiber laser has evolved from a laboratory curiosity to a viable tool in an increasing number of applications in such diverse areas as material processing, atmospheric monitoring, high energy physics, medicine, telecommunications, and defense. Our special issue includes sixteen (16) invited papers from distinguished researchers from both industry and academia from different parts of the world. In each contribution the authors present an overview of the latest advances in their specific research area. Read full editorial
