Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber optic sensing technology has been around for many years but over the last decade has been adopted in an ever-increasing manner. Different types of fiber-optic sensors based on glass or polymeric fibers are used to evaluate material behavior or to monitor the integrity and long-term stability of load-bearing structural components. Fiber-optic sensors have been established as a new and innovative measurement technology in different fields for sensing strain, pressure, vibration, deformation, angle, shape, temperature and PH values etc. This special issue invites real world applications addressed by specific sensing modalities, being distributed fiber sensors, fiber Bragg grating sensors, interferometric sensors, or any novel fiber optic sensors, to gather the data by using the transmission, reflection & scattering properties of fiber as it reacts to local forces (eg: Rayleigh, Raman & Brillouin scattering). Each method is chosen to best serve an application based on the distance, accuracy/resolution, and speed of measurement required. This Special Issue welcomes contributions from all aspects of the recent research and development related to fiber optic sensors and a wide spectrum of applications that include, but not limited to:
- Security
- Maritimes
- Aerospace
- Material science
- Civil engineering
- Lightweight structures
- Geotechnical areas
- Chemical
- High-voltage substations

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.
