Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical sensors have evolved to be one of the most studied and widely applied sensing techniques in industrial, engineering, medical, and biological applications.
We are opening the second edition of the Special Issue "Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Optical Measurements and Sensing Technology", focusing on collecting and discussing novel and advanced research works in various fields of optical measurements and sensors.
It pursues recent developments and new applications of optical sensing, including significant improvements in sensitivity, precision, accuracy, measurement speed, miniaturization of systems, and integration to optimize systems. Moreover, innovative designs of optical sensors for specific applications, or novel elaboration techniques for optical sensors, such as AI-based techniques, are welcome. The Special Issue is open for submissions, including original research papers as well as review articles that summarize recent technical developments.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- General photonic sensors and measurement techniques;
- Interferometric sensors;
- Optical rangefinder;
- Micro–opto–electro-mechanical systems (MOEMSs);
- Novel optical sensing technologies;
- Laser Doppler velocimetry;
- Optical fiber sensors;
- Single-point, multi-point, and distributed measurements;
- New processing techniques for optical 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 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-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.
