Recent Advances in Optoelectronic and Photonic Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Optoelectronic and photonic sensors are essential components of numerous cutting-edge technologies, including environmental monitoring, healthcare, smart manufacturing, and communication systems. Due to continuous progress in materials, device design, integration techniques, and computational techniques, the capabilities of these sensors are continually improving, providing new levels of precision, speed, and efficiency.

This Special Issue invites contributions that explore recent developments in this fast-moving field. We are currently seeking original research, review articles, and brief reports that highlight innovative sensor designs, fabrication methods, and system-level improvements. Potential topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: integrated photonics, fiber-optic sensing, quantum and plasmonic effects, and advances in miniaturization and low-power operation.

We are especially interested in work that bridges the gap between theory and application—research that not only introduces new ideas but also demonstrates real-world relevance. Whether you are working on fundamental sensing mechanisms or developing next-generation devices for practical use, we encourage you to share your findings.

The objective of this Special Issue is to convene a diverse array of perspectives and stimulate novel discourse within the field. We hope it will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and technologists seeking maintain their leadership in the fields of optoelectronics and photonics.

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.
