Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit your papers about optical sensors based on plasmonic gratings features to this Special Issue of the journal Sensors.
Plasmonic gratings play a crucial role for their application in optical sensors. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized SPR (LSPR) sensors have gained much popularity and are still flourishing due to advancements in nanofabrication technology. Optical regimes, such as diffraction in photonic crystals, absorption of plasmonic nanostructures, color switching systems, refraction of assembled birefringent nanostructures, and emission of nanomaterials, are of great interest, both for the pure scientific interest and for the many applications in which they are potentially involved. This Special Issue aims to be an opportunity to collect experimental and theoretical research works in these areas, giving space to the design, preparation, fabrication, characterization, simulations, and applications of these innovative and promising optical materials. This Special Issue addresses all the applications of optical sensors based on plasmonic gratins such as gas sensors (for the environment, for example), bio sensors for biological species (in liquid), or in situ monitoring of processes (temperatures measurement, thin films characterization….).
We invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue; full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
The focuses of this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Photonic or plasmonic nanomaterials for sensing and biosensing;
- Design of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors;
- Fabrication of SPR based diffraction grating (nanofabrication technology);
- Preparation methods and applications for photonic or plasmonic-based sensors;
- Theoretical simulations of photonic and plasmonic nanostructures for sensing;
- Other hybrid materials in plasmonic sensors, for example, transition metal nitrides (TiN…).

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.
