Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to advances in computing technology (affordable and powerful hardware and software), laser technology and nanotechnology (leading to the invention of novel biomarkers, sensors, etc.), many exciting developments in fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy techniques have been achieved in the recent decades. These developments have opened novel ways for interrogating systems in life and physical sciences at single-molecule sensitivity and subnanometer resolution, evident from examples such as the invention of the super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique. Such advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques have found applications in biomedicine (e.g., the study of disease mechanisms at the molecular level and disease diagnostics in clinical settings), environmental sensing and information technology. This Special Issue aims to provide a venue for researchers to share their work and continued efforts towards the advancement of optical microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, with the hopes of finding novel applications for such techniques.
Original research and review articles for this Special Issue can include, but are not limited to:
- Laser sources and detectors for advanced fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy techniques;
- The simulation, design and fabrication of novel sensors and biomarkers with improved efficiency;
- Algorithms and methods for data processing and analysis;
- Nanomaterials and optical nanostructures for improved resolution and sensitivity, including simulation, design, synthesis, growth and fabrication technologies;
- The application of advanced optical spectroscopy techniques in biomedicine, environmental sciences and information technology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
