Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and fiber optic sensor technology has revolutionized the sensing industry by providing highly sensitive and reliable solutions for monitoring different types of parameters. Their immunity to electromagnetic interference, light weight, and ability to operate in harsh environments make them indispensable in structural health monitoring, aerospace engineering, and biomedical applications. The multiplexing capability of FBG sensors allows for distributed sensing over long distances, enabling real-time data collection from multiple points along a single optical fiber. Fiber optic sensor technology is driving innovation in predictive maintenance and advanced monitoring systems across critical industries. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive collection of the latest advances in exploiting FBG and fiber optic sensor technology.
We would like to invite you to submit an article to this Special Issue “Advances in Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and Fiber Optic Sensor Technology”. We welcome full research articles, timely reviews, and short communications in the following areas (but not limited to):
- Novel writing techniques and materials of FBGs;
- Advanced fabrication and encapsulation techniques of FBG sensors;
- Distributed fiber optic sensing systems;
- Degradation of sensing properties of FBG sensors;
- Advanced applications of FBG sensors in real-time monitoring;
- FBG-based chemical sensors;
- FBG-based biological sensors;
- FBG-based gas sensors;
- FBG-based wearable sensors;
- Micro-fiber-based FBG 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.
