Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave photonics for sensors has attracted dramatically increased interest. It creates great opportunities to bring new capabilities in sensing by combining microwave and photonic techniques, which offers advantages such as small size, light weight, high sensitivity, and immunity to electromagnetic interferences. The merging of microwaves, photonics and sensors enables new functionalities and solves challenging problems that either are difficult, complex or even not directly possible in a single domain.
The significance and benefit in sensors based on microwave photonic techniques has a potential formidable impact on a wide range of applications among several industrial, transportation, medical, energy and infrastructure sectors. The emerging technique of microwave photonics for sensors deserves high visibility and attention.
This Special Issue will address the latest breakthroughs and recent research advances in “Microwave Photonics for Sensors”. Both original, state-of-the-art contributions as well as review papers are welcome, covering though not limited to the following areas:
- microwave photonics and integrated microwave photonics;
- optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) sensing;
- fiber-optic sensors;
- integrated microphotonic inertial sensors and pressure sensors;
- biosensors and gas sensors;
- remote optical sensing and optical imaging;
- sensing systems and sensing networks.

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.
