Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical microcavities, including Fabry–Perot cavities, photonic crystal cavities, and whispering-gallery-mode microcavities, can limit the light entering a tiny space, enhancing the interaction between optics and materials. They have the advantages of high energy density, high quality, and a small size. These advantages mean that they have great potential for various high-sensitivity sensing applications. Recent advances in optical microcavity technologies have important scientific significance for the development of sensors, such as temperature sensing, humidity sensing, gas sensing, liquid sensing, displacement sensing, electric/magnetic field sensing, ultrasound sensing, quantum sensing, accelerometers, optical gyroscopes, strain/pressure/force detection, biosensing, biochemical sensing, etc.
This Special Issue therefore aims to collate original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, applications, and new challenges in the field of optical microcavities or optical systems based on optical microcavities. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced sensing based on Fabry–Perot cavities;
- Advanced sensing based on photonic crystal cavities;
- Advanced sensing based on whispering-gallery-mode microcavities;
- Optical microcavity fabrication and packaged technology;
- Optical interactions and mode coupling;
- Precision detection based on nonlinear scattering effects;
- Precision detection based on optical microcavity systems;
- Optical gyroscopes or accelerometers;
- Advanced optical measurements based on microcombs;
- Advanced sensing based on interference effects or resonance effects.

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.
