Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interest in the development and practical implementation of integrated and fiber optic sensors for the measurement of electromagnetic fields has led to the commercialization of a number of earlier proposed solutions. During recent years, we have witnessed new developments and a growing interest in novel approaches in this area—more specifically, the development of micro-interferometers or other optical waveguide structures in combination with magnetic fluids or magnetostrictive materials, the use of specialty optical fibers and the application of optical fiber sensors for the detection of electric discharges.
The objective of this Special Issue is to present the latest research and practical applications of integrated and optical fiber magnetic and electric field sensors: new approaches, the use of advanced technologies, materials, specialty fibers, interrogation and multiplexing techniques, reliability issues and manufacturability.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Intrinsic and extrinsic magnetic field/electric current and electric field/voltage sensors;
- Polarimetric, interferometric and refractometric intensity and wavelength-dependent interrogation schemes;
- Magnetic field/current sensors based on magnetostrictive, magneto-optic materials and magnetic fluids;
- Electric field/voltage sensors based on electro-optic materials and liquid crystals;
- Sensing platforms for extrinsic sensors: FBGs, LPGs, plasmonic, intermodal interferometers, uIMZI, taper, Fabry Perot;
- Specialty optical fibers for magnetic and electric field sensing applications;
- Interrogation and multiplexing techniques for optical magnetic and electrical field sensors;
- Detection of current short circuit and voltage breakdown or discharges;
- Temperature compensation and simultaneous temperature measurement;
- New magnetic materials for use in optical fiber magnetic field and current sensing;
- Reliability of installed commercialized of magnetic and electric optical sensors.

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.
