Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical sensors are based on the principle of light–matter interaction. Depending on the type of sensor, they can measure different properties of light, such as intensity, wavelength, polarization, phase, or frequency. They can also generate light signals using different sources, such as lasers, LEDs, or fluorescent molecules. Optical sensors have biomedical applications for detecting biomarkers and measuring physiological parameters such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, glucose level, or temperature. They are also used for administering light-based therapies. Optical sensors have significant advantages over other types of sensors: they are non-invasive, biocompatible, versatile, sensitive, accurate, and fast. They can also be portable, implantable, or disposable.
In this Special Issue, the entire scientific community is invited to participate with their contributions addressing topics related to the design, application, improvement, and results of optical sensors for biological and biomedical applications.

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.
