Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the merits of low cost, immunity to electromagnetic fields, and high-sensitivity properties, optical biochemical sensors have attracted significant attention in various fields, such as biomedical diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food-safety inspection. Developing more novel and high-quality optical fiber biochemical and environmental sensors can contribute to advancing industrialization in this domain.
This Special Issue will showcase short communications, research papers, and review articles that discuss the latest progress in optical fiber biochemical and environmental sensing and welcomes submissions from multiple disciplines, including the latest research results for optical sensing devices, especially fiber-optic sensors, new material for biochemical and environmental sensing applications, and new functionalized methods and sensing applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fiber-optic chemical and biological sensors;
- New optical fiber structures and materials for biochemical and environmental sensing;
- Optofluidic optical fiber biochemical and environmental sensors;
- Optical integrated chip or optical fiber waveguide sensors;
- New signal processing techniques;
- New functionalized methods;
- New biochemical and environmental sensor strategies;
- New biochemical and environmental sensing applications;
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
