Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Highly sensitive optical sensors have received great interest during these last years. In particular, the ability to rapidly detect, identify and monitor chemical or biological species is imperative for environmental, health monitoring and security applications. The detection of traces of (bio)-chemical molecules requires sample preparation procedures combined with sophisticated analytical tools that can detect, within an acceptable time, disease biomarkers, emerging pollutants, chemical warfare agents or toxic industrial chemicals with high sensitivity to really detect low concentrations with high selectivity not to be affected by other factors in the environment.
Many molecules can be detected in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) because of their characteristic absorption bands, creating a unique molecular fingerprint. Photonic devices operating in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) are currently developed for infrared sensor applications.
We invite manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue in all pertinent aspects concerning infrared sensor technologies and applications. Both reviews and original research articles are welcome. We look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Joël Charrier

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.
