Fiber Lasers and Fiber Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Since their invention, optical fibers have been widely used in optical communications, fiber lasers, fiber sensors and other fields. As it is well known, relevant scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for the crucial contribution of optical fibers to optical communications. Similarly, fiber lasers and fiber sensors are also experiencing vigorous development, which has an increasingly important impact on social life and industrial production.

This Special Issue aims to present original state-of-the-art research articles dealing with the design, manufacture and application of optical fibers, fiber lasers and fiber sensors. Researchers are invited to submit their contributions to this Special Issue. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Special optical fibers;
• Fiber lasers;
• Fiber sensors;
• Ultrafast fiber lasers;
• Narrow linewidth fiber laser;
• Swept lasers;
• Fourier domain mode-locked fiber laser;
• Microwave photonic sensing;
• Distributed fiber sensors;
• Gas sensors;
• Bio-sensors.

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. 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.
