Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensing and communication are two key technologies of Internet of Things (IoT). With the popularization of terminal devices and the explosive growth of data volume, there is an urgent demand for advanced sensors and communication devices with ultra-small size, ultra-high performance, ultra-fast response, and ultra-low power consumption. As Moore's Law gradually approaches its physical bottleneck, optoelectronic and photonic devices are regarded as the building blocks for next-generation information systems. In recent years, optoelectronic and photonic devices based on novel structures such as nanowires, quantum dots, two-dimensional materials, metamaterials, and perovskites have shown great potential in sensing and communications. The aim of this Special Issue is to compile original research and review articles on the topics of advanced optoelectronic and photonic devices for sensing and communication systems. Research on theoretical analysis, structure design, device fabrication, and system application of optoelectronic and photonic devices are all welcome.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
