Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Based on advanced laser processing technologies (such as femtosecond laser direct writing, two-photon polymerization, laser pyrolysis, and laser-induced carbonization technology), structures from macro and nano scales or various engineered surfaces are manufactured efficiently, which turns out to be a powerful manufacturing method for the development of advanced sensing devices (such as MEMS/NEMS or flexible electronics). To attract and encourage more researchers to develop laser processing technologies to fabricate diverse sensing devices conveniently and efficiently, the Special Issue on “Advanced Laser Processing Technology and Its Functional Devices” seeks high-quality works that focus on the latest novel advances associated with laser materials processing and laser-based functional sensing devices. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Advanced laser processing;
- The fabrication of micro/nano structures;
- Methods for large-area laser processing;
- Laser processing-based flexible electronics;
- Laser processing-based functional surfaces, sensors, and actuators.

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.
