Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonics sensors have attracted wide interest across numerous fields, including the aerospace industry, food processing, high-energy physics, environmental monitoring, medicine, the nuclear industry, oil and gas, railways, and structural health monitoring. These sensors offer key advantages such as high sensitivity and resolution, compact size and low weight, immunity to electromagnetic interference, robustness in harsh environments, long-distance monitoring capability, and high multiplexing potential.
Following the success of the first edition of this Special Issue, “Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Photonics Sensors”, we are pleased to launch the second edition. This Special Issue will highlight the latest developments and emerging trends in photonics sensors, with a particular emphasis on advances in theory, design, fabrication, and applications.
We warmly invite you to contribute original research papers, communications, and review articles that provide valuable insights into the current state of the art in this field, as well as future possibilities. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
Dr. Flavio Esposito

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.
