Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Graphene, as a novel optoelectronic material, offers great promise to the field of photonics, optical sensors, and a number of other fields. Owing to its superior and intriguing properties, several attractive applications of graphene are being vigorously exploited. However, we believe that the true potential of graphene has not yet been fully exploited. So far, there has been continuous investigation and exploration aiming to answer the new challenges imposed by the different application fields. This has been possible thanks to several factors, including innovation in the function of multiple-graphene–dielectric-graphene layer stacks in a controlled fashion, the improved performance of optical sensors, increased efficiency of interaction of light with graphene, etc.
In this Special Issue, we are aming to focus on the most recent developments in graphene-based photonics and optical devices, covering recent technological improvements in the design, fabrication, and validation of new sensors or the modification of existing ones, and alternative use in emerging applications. We invite you to submit both original research papers and review articles describing the current state-of-the-art in graphene-based photonic and optical sensor technologies.

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.
