Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of distributed optical fiber sensing has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, with significant implications across various industries, such as civil engineering, environmental monitoring, and healthcare. This Special Issue, "Advanced Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Techniques", aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to share the latest developments, innovations, and applications in this dynamic field.
Aim of the Special Issue:
This Special Issue is designed to align with the scope of the journal by focusing on the cutting-edge research and reviews that advance the understanding and application of distributed optical fiber sensing techniques. We aim to curate a collection of at least 10 high-quality articles that will contribute to the scientific discourse and potentially be compiled into book form, showcasing the depth and breadth of research in this area.
Suggested themes and article types for submissions:
We welcome original research articles and reviews that address the following themes, among others:
- Novel sensing mechanisms and methodologies in distributed optical fiber sensing;
- Advanced signal processing techniques for enhanced data analysis;
- Integration of distributed optical fiber sensors with IoT and smart systems;
- Applications in structural health monitoring, environmental sensing, and biomedical diagnostics;
- Innovations in sensor fabrication, materials, and deployment strategies.
This Special Issue aims to gather a collection of scholarly articles that reflect the current state and future directions of distributed optical fiber sensing. By doing so, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and inspire further innovation in this field.
In this Special Issue, we encourage submissions that explore the latest research findings, theoretical advancements, and practical applications in distributed optical fiber sensing. We are particularly interested in articles that push the boundaries of current knowledge and offer innovative solutions to real-world challenges.
I/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. Photonics 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 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.
