Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical methods are non-invasive tools, and their use in sensing applications is continuously increasing. New optical technologies enable the development of new sensing schemes and devices characterized by superior working parameters (very low detection limit, high specificity and sensitivity) and innovative applicative approaches for quantitatively and qualitatively determining the components of analytes of interest in many fields of application, including pharmaceutical research, medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, agriculture, industry, food safety, and security. The aim of this Special Issue is to offer an overview of recent advances in optical sensor technology and applications, including source and detection technologies, sensor architectures, sensor performance, and processing approaches and applications. With this aim, original research papers, as well as review articles, will be published to show the diversity of the new developments in these areas and their wide dissemination in these fields. If you require clarifications or wish to discuss your submission in advance, we encourage you to contact us. We look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.
