Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Compared to conventional types of sensors, optical fiber sensors have many unique advantages, including low-cost, light-weight, compact-size, high-sensitivity, environment-resistivity, and bio-compatibility. Versatile designs and various tunable parameters of optical fibers enable the detection of many physical parameters to be measured: mechanical strain/stress/bending curvature, temperature, refraction index, transmission absorption and dispersion, biological and biochemical signals and many others. Moreover, fiber sensing, depending on sensing scales, detection frequency range, and specific applications, have been deployed on many different occasions, from long-distance distributed sensing to miniature biological sensors.

This Special Issue aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances in optical fiber sensors and their applications. Relevant progress on fiber sensor designs and models, manufacturing technologies, packaging or distribution solutions, emerging applications, and new challenges in the field will be addressed.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Microstructure fiber sensors
  • Distributed fiber sensing, acoustic/strain sensing, OTDR
  • Fiber optic shape, temperature, vibration sensing
  • Biochemical and biological fiber sensors, optical field sensing
  • Broadband or terawave fiber 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.
