Micro/Nano Photonic Devices for Biosensing

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites regular research papers, review articles, and short communications that explore the development of micro-/nanophotonic devices for sensing applications in diverse areas, for example, food and drug screening, environmental monitoring, and infectious pathogens detection. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: the advancement of photonic materials, novel fabrication techniques, optical properties, tuning of the optical emission wavelength, surface modification, stability in different environments, conjugation with biomolecules or polymers, the theoretical understanding of materials and biointerfaces, and miniaturized photonic sensing devices.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the challenges around photonic devices for the detection of analytes in different media and the development of new analytical methods, the drawbacks and limitations of current techniques, potential challenges, and possible solutions for the future technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
