Advanced Micro-Nano Optical Sensors Based on MOEMS Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The recent interest in developing micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) has drawn great research attention to miniaturized optical sensors, which have been widely used in fields ranging from consumer electronics and aerospace to optical communications. Advances in these fields in recent years are now yielding advanced micro-nano optical sensors with higher performance (e.g., lower power consumption, higher sensitivity, higher integration associated with both the integrated electrical circuits and the photonic circuits). This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Micro-Nano Optical Sensors and MOEMS Technologies”, aims to provide an overview of the progress achieved in recent years. The Special Issue will explore not only advances in technological pathways but will also include system-level solutions (e.g., design, fabrication, integration and applications) for advanced micro-nano optical sensors based on MOEMS technologies.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Displacement sensors;
2. Accelerometers;
3. Gyroscopes;
4. Pressure sensors;
5. Spectrometers;
6. Biosensors;
7. Gas sensors.

Additionally, studies on relative MOEMS techniques that involve the fabrication and application of these advanced micro-nano optical sensors are also welcome.

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
