Optical Sensors: Innovative Designs, Configurations, Measurements, and Applications

Dear colleagues,

Optical sensors have been widely used to observe natural phenomena in the macroscopic or microscopic environment, and the importance of their roles has rapidly increased in science and industry.

This Special Issue, entitled “Optical Sensors: Innovative Designs, Configurations, Measurements, and Applications”, focuses on collecting and discussing novel and advanced research works in various fields of optical sensors, especially opto-mechanical and opto-electronic sensors.

It pursues recent developments and new applications of optical sensors, but is not limited to fully novel optical devices only. Significant improvements on sensitivity, precision, accuracy, measurement speed, miniaturization of systems, and optical integration to optimize systems are also welcome topics for this issue. Moreover, innovative designs of optical sensors for novel and specific applications are sought to increase the value of discussion. As well as original research papers, there is also scope for review articles to summarize the technical developments and provide challenging themes.

We expect many colleagues in the field of optical sensors to contribute to this Special Issue.

Dr. Ki-Nam Joo
