Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your paper to the Special Issue of the journal Photonics—“Specialty Optical Fibers: Advance and Sensing Application”.
Over the past fifty years, optical fiber has been well-developed and widely used in optical fiber communication systems, greatly promoting the arrival of the information age. Specialty optical fibers with unique performance, such as ultra-low transmission loss, highly strong evanescent field, ultra-high working temperature, etc., have been intensively studied and become a research hotspot. Novel simulation designs, ingenious fabrication processes, and high performance are constantly being proposed and validated, showing unparalleled advantages in optical fiber sensing applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum between optical fiber research and sensing demands to advance the development of novel hollow structures, fiber materials, microstructured optical fiber sensors, and multi-medium or multi-functional fibers, as well as their sensing performance in smart city, marine monitoring and aerospace applications. This Special Issue also aims to deal with all aspects regarding the challenges and solutions in the development of specialty optical fibers and their sensing applications.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Hollow core fibers;
- Multi-medium and multi-functional optical fibers;
- Microstructured optical fiber sensors;
- Nano-fiber and its sensing applications;
- Sapphire fiber and its sensing applications;
- Optic-fiber sensing system for ocean monitoring and aerospace applications.
Potential topics including fibers for terahertz applications and orbital angular momentum research are also welcomed.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in 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 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.
