Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical sensing technology, characterized by its ability to detect and measure light in various environments, stands at the forefront of scientific advancement and application. The dynamic field of optical sensing is revolutionizing how people understand and interact with the environment. By harnessing the properties of light, optical sensors provide a unique lens through which to observe and analyze the physical world, offering non-invasive, real-time data with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity. This compilation of research not only explores the foundational aspects of optical sensing mechanisms but also showcases the latest innovations driving the field forward.
This Special Issue aims to bring outstanding researchers in the field together to highlight the pivotal role of optical sensing in addressing some of today’s most pressing challenges, thereby reinforcing the importance of this research area in paving the way for future scientific and technological breakthroughs. In this Special Issue, original simulation and experimental research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following: optical sensing, fiber optic sensing, biomedical sensing, distributed sensing, structural health monitoring (SHM), non-destructive testing (NDT), intrusion detection, remote sensing, gas sensing, and optical instrumentation and measurement.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
