This Special Issue aims to publish original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, and applications in the field of fiber-optic sensing systems based on techniques relating to interferometers, gratings, and others.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed fiber-optic sensing;
- Fiber-optic sensors with gratings and their applications ;
- Fabrication and packaging of fiber sensors;
- Fiber-optic sensing networks;
- Fiber-optic disturbance sensing;
- Novel fiber-optic sensing for structural health monitoring;
- Fiber-optic sensors for aviation or aerospace applications;
- Fiber-optic sensors in the medical or biotech fields;
- Fiber-optic sensors for scientific or industrial applications.

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.
