Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical fiber sensing technologies have been proposed and demonstrated for a few decades because of their thin size, electromagnetic interference-free manner, flexibility, and embedded and remote sensing abilities. Therefore, structural health monitoring, robotics, and biomedical applications have superiority to use fiber optic sensors, which can detect strain, temperature, acceleration, and nearly every physical parameter measurement with high precision.
Specifically, recent advances in biomedical applications using fiber optic sensors have grown attractively. The optical fiber sensors with non-invasive and unconstrained monitoring enable early monitoring and detection of diseases and provide rapid, low-cost, and non-invasive diagnoses.
This Special Issue is focused on novel optical fiber sensors in the biomedical application for life sciences, biotechnology, and medical practice. We strongly encourage the submission of papers focusing on the keywords below. However, works on related topics will also be considered.

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. 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.
