Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical sensors have attracted worldwide attention because of their high sensitivity, good electrical insulation, anti-electromagnetic interference, small size, light weight, low transmission loss, large transmission capacity, remote control monitoring and multi-point distributed measurement. In many situations, the optical sensor can effectively perceive the environment due to its superior performance, measuring various parameters of the marine environment in the sea water, or sensing temperature, strain and pressure in the extremely high-temperature environment, etc. The optical fiber sensor can even create bionic skin to sense the biological environment to mimic the biological skin’s perception of the environment.
To effectively utilize the advantages of optical sensors over traditional sensors, it is vital to study and explore the sensing ability of optical sensors in a range of situations.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research on the perception function of optical sensors in different scenarios, with a particular emphasis on the perception of the external environment (such as the marine environment, high-temperature environment, geomagnetic field environment, and biomimetic perception of the environment by optical sensors). We seek papers on the use of optical sensors in different scenarios, such as extreme environmental monitoring, marine environmental monitoring, biological environmental awareness, etc. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):
New optical fiber functional devices;
Extreme environmental monitoring;
Marine environmental monitoring;
Earth's magnetic field monitoring;
Biomimetic environmental monitoring;
Multi parameter cooperative sensing.

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.
