Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, optical and photonic devices are largely recognized due to the development of integrated sensors having low cost, small footprint, high performance, and so on. Fiber-optic and photonics technologies are a well-established branch of science and technology, offering a continuous source of novelty for sensors and measurements. Having a small size, resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and capacity to withstand extremes of temperature and humidity etc., fiber-optic sensors have been in widespread use for many years and are becoming more and more popular.
This Special Issue will explore the most advanced and recent approaches to sensing and metrology, addressing, in particular, contributions that are opening new venues in older and more recent application fields. Those applications are well within science and societal challenges, like biosensing, environmental, and structural health monitoring; aerospace and even newer applications of quantum technologies, like quantum sensing and communications. The combination of Photonics and fiber optics offers a complete optical platform for measurement, including micro, nanofabrication, and the coupling to standard and specialty fibers. This offers a new avenue of possibilities in localized and distributed sensing.
Topic of interests includes both research and reviews but are not limited to:
- Fiber optic sensors (Physical, chemical, biological)
- Fiber sensors based on LMRs, SERs, SPRs etc.
- Fiber interferometric sensors
- Integrated photonics sensors

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.
