Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food safety and environmental monitoring are of paramount importance, and the sensitive and rapid detection of trace toxic pollutants in the environment and food is closely linked to human life and safety. Optical fiber sensors demonstrate unique advantages in the fields of biochemical and environmental monitoring. These sensors utilize optical signal transmission, offering characteristics such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, suitability for long-distance and on-site real-time monitoring, and a structure that is easily miniaturized and cost-controllable. With advancements in plasmonic regulation theory and metasurface design, optical fiber sensors are exhibiting increasingly superior performance. This Special Issue focuses on all optical fiber sensors designed for monitoring environmental and food contaminants.

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.
