Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a rapidly growing interest in fiber optic sensors due to their attractive features such as small size, light weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference, passive composition, high-temperature performance, large bandwidth, high sensitivity, environmental ruggedness, and their ability of distributed sensing. At present, fiber optic sensors have progressed from the laboratory research and development stage to practical applications. With rapid advancements in optoelectronic and communication fields, the number of fiber optic sensors is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years.
This Special Issue of Photonics aims to collect original research and review articles on the latest principles, technological innovations, applications, and challenges in the field of fiber optic sensors.
Potential topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel concepts for fiber optic sensors;
- Optical and laser measurement;
- Fiber, grating, and components for sensing;
- Physical sensors, chemical sensors, and biosensors;
- Micro- and nano-structured fiber optic sensors;
- Distributed fiber optic sensors;
- Sensor signal processing;
- New fiber sensing technologies and platforms;
- Fiber optic sensor applications.

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.
