Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, basic and applied research on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been actively conducted. In particular, the SPR sensor is one of the devices that has been actively investigated in applied research of an optical platform using the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons. The utilization of nanostructures has enabled the development of more sensitive detection formats adapted to multiplexed configurations. Specifically, the unique optical and electronic properties of nanomaterials have permitted the advancement of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and surface-enhanced raman scattering (SERS) applications. Likewise, the fabrication of nanopatterned structures through lithographic patterning has provided high spatial resolution surface structures while improving the sensitivity of the systems. In this Special Issue, we would like to compile the latest research results on the theory and experiments regarding the measurement principle, detection formats, performances, and applications for surface plasmon sensors, and to discuss the current status and future prospects of surface plasmon sensor performance.

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.
