Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design and development of innovative optical fiber sensors, involving the exploration of novel optical fiber materials, structural designs, or sensing mechanisms, can enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of sensors and can be used in optical fiber sensing technology applications in biochemical and biological fields, encompassing biomedical imaging, biomolecule detection, environmental monitoring, food safety testing, and so on. Optical fiber sensors can be employed for the real-time monitoring of chemical changes in biological bodies or for detecting pollutants in the environment. Optical sensing technology can be integrated with nanotechnology, microfluidic technology, surface plasmon resonance technology, etc., which can lead to the development of more advanced sensing systems for the analysis of complex biological samples.
The Special Issue will cover a wide range of applications of optical fiber sensing technology in the chemical and biological fields. We invite researchers, scientists, and practitioners to contribute original research articles, reviews, and communications that align with the themes of this Special Issue.

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. Biosensors 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 2200 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.
