Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, optical fiber sensing technology has resulted in significant advancements in various fields, including power, petroleum, the chemical industry, construction, transportation, healthcare, and environmental protection. With high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and miniaturization and long-distance transmission capabilities, optical fiber sensors have become a crucial component of modern intelligent sensing systems. As optical materials, optical fiber power transmission, and intelligent signal processing technologies continue to evolve, and the accuracy, stability, and application scope of optical fiber sensing are constantly expanding. This has enabled its vast potential in complex environment monitoring, smart cities, structural health monitoring, and biomedical sensing applications. This Special Issue will focus on the latest developments in the field of novel mechanism-based optical fiber sensors, advancements in optical fiber sensing systems, and their applications in complex scenarios.

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.
