Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Raman spectroscopy is not only a non-destructive chemical analysis technique which provides intrinsic chemical information about a sample, but also utilizes the merits of the narrow bandwidth and low background of Raman spectra, offering itself as a promising multiplex analytical technique. Raman spectroscopy has become a routine but powerful analytical tool in chemistry, physics, material, biology, and medicine.
Despite these attractive attributions, spontaneous Raman scattering is very weak, which leads to poor detection sensitivity and long integration time. To improve Raman signal, one approach is the involvement of localized surface plasmon resonance effect, which increases the driving electromagnetic field. Another route is to employ coherent Raman processes (e.g., coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering and stimulated Raman scattering) to boost the signal. With the development of nanotechnology, laser, optoelectronic devices and data processing, Raman spectroscopy researchers are pushing the limit of sensitivity, spatial resolution, detection speed, and multiplex capability.
This Special Issue aims to cover the latest development in Raman spectroscopic sensing and imaging. Original research and review articles for this Special Issue can address topics including, but not limited to:
- Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy;
- Tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy;
- Coherent Raman scattering microscopy;
- Advanced Raman techniques and instruments;
- Raman-based sensors;
- Hyphenated Raman techniques;
- Algorithms and methods for data processing and analysis;
- Raman spectroscopic sensing and imaging techniques for bioanalysis, renewable energy, environmental sciences, and materials.

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.
