Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoacoustic sensing has emerged as a powerful technique for imaging and sensing, with applications ranging from medical diagnostics, to environmental monitoring, to industrial quality control, to name only a few. Recent advancements in light sources, such as quantum cascade lasers and tunable microstructure light sources, coupled with breakthroughs in microphones (MEMS), have significantly elevated the capabilities of photoacoustic sensing, promoting novel opportunities and applications. These improvements, particularly in microsystems, offer new avenues for miniaturization and enhanced measurement strategies. Additionally, the integration of innovative photoacoustic cell structures further enhances the performance of these sensing solutions.
This Special Issue aims to explore the synergy between systems and microsystems, novel light sources, innovative sensors, photoacoustic cell design, advanced microphones, and innovative measurement strategies in the realm of photoacoustic sensing.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
