Abstract
This paper introduces special issue on the recent progress of deep learning and automation in laser science.
The rapid development of the user-friendly machine learning and deep learning technologies is
stimulating digital transformation in the laser science and other related communities. This special issue
consist of the articles written by specialist of both laser science/technology and information science/
technology. The synesis of these two technologies is expected to change the style of research, development,
and operation of the laser system.
