Lasing Sensing and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Lasers have long been used as highly sensitive measuring devices. With the rise of laser equipment, the applications of laser equipment are becoming more and more extensive. For example, laser sensors measure the position, displacement, speed, and vibration of objects. Laser sensors include different types: laser distance sensors, laser displacement sensors, laser light curtain sensors, lasers for investigating the optical properties of media, laser Raman sensors, random laser sensors, etc. With the maturity of laser sensor technology, this has led to widespread use of laser sensors in many areas. In addition to manufacturing, it can also be used in robotics, autonomous driving and biomedicine.

The goal of this Special Issue is to provide the most recent research results in laser sensor technology and its application. Topics include laser sensor design and new laser sensor technology, as well as the theoretical and numerical methods to retrieve information from laser-based sensors, application of laser sensors in various fields, and different types of laser-sensor-based devices and their 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.
