Special Issue Information
Within the last decade, optical-fiber-based sensors and their detection applications have attracted tremendous attention in the development of sensing technology and quickly grown to meet the needs of a commonality of industry, human, and environment. The optical fiber itself has proven to be a great candidate for sensing among other optical devices, owing to its impressive features such as high sensitivity, large dynamic range, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Such features enable optical fiber to have multisensing capabilities, consequently pushing researchers to employ fiber sensors in a different configuration utilizing three common sensing parameters of wavelength, intensity, and phase shift. Meanwhile, the developments of fabrication of the spatiality microstructured optical fibers, together with the expansion of optoelectronic devices, have been pivotal in paving the way towards extending fiber sensor configurations and the range of fiber sensor applications.
In such a framework, this Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advances in fiber-optic sensor technology research and development. The fields of interest include but are not limited to engineering, medical, and environmental applications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
