Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over recent decades, optical fiber sensors (OFSs) have become essential in various industries. To acknowledge ongoing advancements in this technology, we are pleased to invite contributions to our upcoming Special Issue titled "Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors for High Temperature Sensing Applications". This issue will focus on the latest developments in distributed optical fiber sensing technologies specifically designed for high-temperature environments. It will cover applications ranging from structural health monitoring to industrial process monitoring, highlighting the comprehensive utility of optical fiber sensing. We welcome submissions that present novel methodologies, state-of-the-art technologies, practical implementations, and theoretical frameworks within the field of distributed optical fiber-based sensing.
This Special Issue is dedicated to compiling original research and review articles that explore recent advancements and applications of fiber optic sensors. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Distributed fiber optic sensing;
- Optical time domain reflectometer;
- Sapphire fiber Bragg gratings;
- Raman distributed temperature sensor (Raman DTS);
- Optical frequency domain reflectometer;
- Ultra-high temperature measurement;
- Rayleigh scattering;
- Brillouin scattering;
- Integration of machine learning in distributed optical fiber sensor technology;
- Metal-coated fibers;
- Diverse industrial applications of distributed high temperature fiber optic sensing spanning civil structures, aerospace, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, and the steel industry.

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.
