Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the continuing rapid growth in demand for EM-immune, electrically passive, and accurate sensors with very small dimensions, increasing demands are placed on the evolving field of the application of sensors based on silica and polymer fibers in Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, and biomedical engineering.
This Special Issue focuses on the emerging trends and applications of fiber-optic sensors in Industry 4.0 (predictive maintenance, the measurement of electrical and magnetic quantities, temperature and vibration sensors, etc.), smart cities (IoT sensors, automobile and rail transport, product pipelines leakages, smart waste management, structural health, fire detection, etc.), and biomedical engineering (magnetic resonance sensors, smart home care, wearable sensors, in vitro and in vivo sensors, etc.).
The Special Issue will focus (but not exclusively) on the following types of fiber-optic sensor technologies:
- Fiber-optic and polymer Bragg gratings.
- Distributed systems based on Rayleigh, Raman, and Brillouin scattering.
- Fiber-optic interferometric and polarimetric systems.
- Intensity sensors.
- Micro- and nano-structured fiber sensors.
- New emerging concepts for photonic sensing.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
