Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber optic sensors have become increasingly significant due to their unique advantages, such as high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and ability to operate in harsh environments. The rapid advancements in materials, fabrication techniques, and signal processing algorithms have further expanded the capabilities of fiber optic sensors, enabling unprecedented precision and functionality. The Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements and innovative applications in the field of fiber optic sensing technologies.
Potential authors are invited to contribute original research articles that explore novel sensing mechanisms, advanced materials, and integrated systems that push the boundaries of current technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, distributed sensing, multiplexing techniques, micro- and nano-structured fibers, and lasing sensing. This Special Issue also encourages submissions that explore the practical implementation of these technologies in real-world scenarios, providing insights into their scalability and commercial viability.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight the latest trends, address existing challenges, and inspire future directions in fiber optic sensing. We welcome original research articles that contribute to the advancement of the fiber sensing field.

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.
