Resonators Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

The field of sensors has witnessed an enormous interest in the last few decades and has reached a good level of maturity due to the constant advances in fabrication techniques and in their applications. Resonating structures can be one-, two- and three-dimensional; partially or fully integrated; and last but not least, they can be made of a huge variety of materials: Metallic, dielectric, polymeric or hybrid. The transducing schemes range from plasmonic to optical, and they comprise different cavities and resonators, ranging from, but not limited to: Whispering gallery mode resonators, photonic crystals, and grating waveguide resonators. Common examples of applications include physical (temperature, pressure, displacement and field) sensors and chemical (biological, medical, agriculture and environment) sensors.

We invite manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue in all aspects pertinent to resonator sensors. Both reviews and original research articles are welcome. Reviews should provide an up-to-date and critical overview of state-of-the-art technologies, such as whispering gallery modes, photonic crystals, grating waveguide resonators or any other resonator-based sensing mechanism. Original research papers that describe the utilization of resonating platforms in sensing, or new concepts and fundamental studies with potential relevance to sensing are also of interest. If you have suggestions that you would like to discuss beforehand, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue.

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-anonymized 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.
