Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of this Special Issue is on fiber optic biosensors, which serve as compact and sensitive tools for the specific detection of chemical and biological samples across various domains, such as biomedical research, life sciences, healthcare, food safety, and environmental monitoring.
These biosensors boast several key advantages: low signal loss, allowing for extended transmission distances; cost-effectiveness, facilitating the production of disposable sensors to prevent cross-contamination; immunity to electromagnetic interference, enabling operations in environments like those generated by nuclear magnetic resonance; and excellent compactness and biocompatibility, supporting in vivo applications. Additionally, they offer versatile sensing capabilities through diverse sensing mechanisms and structural designs, with surface functionalization enabling the precise targeting of molecules.
We invite submissions related to all aspects of fiber optic biosensors for this Special Issue, encompassing novel design trends, innovative methods for enhancing sensor performance, practical applications in biological detection, and advancements in optimizing fiber optic detection systems.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript, or if you have any questions, please contact us.

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.
