Fiber Optic Sensors for Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Sensors based on fiber optic technology have gained increasing attention and, in many cases, broad clinical acceptance for several biomedical applications. Fiber optic sensors (FOSs) may be designed to fulfill some valuable characteristics, such as small size, the possibility to achieve distributed measurements, immunity from electromagnetic interferences, and good metrological properties. These characteristics and recent exciting developments make FOSs an emerging solution for several biomedical applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect articles by industrial and academic players, which are leading authorities in the field. Particular attention will be focused on the current state-of-the-art of FOSs in biomedical applications, as well as on significant recent advances in the design, fabrication, and characterization of novel FOSs.
