Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of photonic sensors has undergone tremendous growth and advancement in recent years. Photonic sensors offer a number of metrics, such as small size, high sensitivity, low cost and immunity to electromagnetic interference, and geometric versatility, which can handle arbitrary shapes. The ability of photonic sensors has been enhanced to substitute traditional sensors for acoustics, vibration, electric and magnetic field measurement, acceleration, rotation, temperature, pressure, linear and angular position, strain, humidity, viscosity, chemical measurements, and a host of other sensor applications. They can be used in high-voltage, high-temperature, or corrosive environments due to their dielectric property. In addition, these sensors are compatible with communication systems and have the capacity to carry out remote sensing.
In this Special Issue on “Photonic Sensors”, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Micro- and nano-structured fiber sensors;
- Distributed and multiplexed sensing and sensor networking;
- Interferometric, polarimetric, and laser-based sensors;
- Physical, mechanical, and electromagnetic sensors;
- Chemical, environmental, biological, and medical sensors and biophotonics;
- New elements (fibers, devices, and subsystems), effects (e.g., plasmonics), technologies (including nanophotonics) and materials (e.g., meta- and structured-materials, etc.) for photonic sensing;
- Integrated photonics, cavity opto-mechanics and quantum sensing techniques, precision metrology, and frequency combs.

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.
