Recent Advances in Fiber Bragg Grating Based Sensors
This special issue belongs to the section “Physical Sensors“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical fiber grating based sensors have been the subject of extensive and relentless research efforts over the past 40 years. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments and trends in this field, from research on new grating fabrication technologies to sensor applications in diverse fields such as bio, medical and structural health monitoring, and from grating device-level studies to new sensor interrogation technologies, interrogation and signal processing methods. We wholeheartedly invite you to participate by submitting both original research papers and review articles on fiber grating based sensor technologies. Join us in highlighting novel approaches and applications in this very active and continuously evolving research and innovation area.
Prof. Dr. Francis Berghmans

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
