Advances in Optical Fiber Sensing Technology: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Optical fiber sensing technologies stand at the forefront of modern sensing systems, offering a paradigm shift in precision measurement and real-time data acquisition. The essence of optical fiber sensing lies in its ability to leverage optical fibers as versatile platforms for detecting, monitoring, and analyzing a myriad of physical parameters. At the heart of optical fiber sensing is the principle of utilizing optical fibers to transmit and receive light signals. This enables the creation of sensors capable of detecting changes in temperature, strain, pressure, and various environmental factors with unprecedented sensitivity. Unlike traditional sensing methods, optical fiber sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for deployment in challenging and high-performance environments.

This Special Issue will collate high-quality papers that focus on emerging, important technologies in optical fiber sensing. Research areas include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

• Optical fiber sensors;
• Fiber sensing technology;
• Optical signal processing technology;
• Optical fiber sensing systems;
• Optical micro-cavity sensing technology;
• Biochemical micro-nano sensitive sensors;
• Fiber sensors based on functional materials;
• Microstructure fibers;
• Simulation of special fibers.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
