Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the field of monitoring systems, in the most diverse applications for chemical–physical quantities, fiber optic sensor systems have gained more and more space over the years.
Over the past decade, fiber optic sensor systems have gained increasing reliability and widespread use for a wide variety of applications.
It is known that the intrinsic characteristics of the optical fiber, such as the small size, the immunity to electromagnetic radiation, the robustness in difficult environments, the multiplexing ability, etc., make optical fiber sensors unique compared to other monitoring technologies.
The diffusion and opportunities for scientific diffusion of topics related to the development and use of this class of sensors have increased in number in recently. So, we may ask ourselves, why do we still feel the need to have a new collection of works dealing with fiber optic sensors?
The answer is that even if the field is mature and well defined, there is room to describe new types of sensors and new examples of uses of these sensors in particular fields of application.
The objective of this Special Issue is to cover broad aspects of the various monitoring solutions based on fiber optic technology, emphasizing, from an engineering and integration point of view with other non-homogeneous monitoring systems, the use in different and possibly new areas of application.
Following the success of our previous Special Issue, "Pervasive Fiber Optic Sensor Technology: Improvements and Applications" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sensors/special_issues/PFOSTIA), you are therefore invited to submit your original research, in the form of communications or complete articles, including the most recent and original advances regarding the current state of the art in optical fiber detection.

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.
