Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, the working conditions of mechanical equipment are becoming more and more severe, resulting in grave difficulties to monitor and evaluate their operating condition. Owing to some distinct advantages, including resistance to electromagnetic noise and harsh environments, compact size, passive sensing, and distributed measurement, optical fiber sensors (OFS) including the FBG, have gradually grown into an important tool for mechanical equipment operating condition monitoring. Many application cases in aero-engine, aerospace equipment, medical robot, etc., have also demonstrated the unique advantages of OFS in special environments. Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to put together current research and advancements in equipment operating condition monitoring based on OFS. This is seen especially in the aspects of extreme parameters (such as ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, intense radiation, micro-force, micro-displacement, etc.) of sensing and multi-parameter dynamic measurement. Contributions addressing the recent design, encapsulation, calibration, and error compensation technologies for OFS are in demand. Additionally, recent OFS applications in advanced and special mechanical equipment are also welcomed.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel OFS sensing principle for extreme parameters, especially for the measurement of mechanical parameters.
- Design theory and methods for OFS.
- High accuracy and speed demodulation technologies of OFS.
- OFS-based multi-parameter dynamical sensing and decoupling measurement.
- Onsite-calibration methods for OFS-based sensor.
- Applications of OFS in special mechanical equipment such as nuclear power equipment, aerospace equipment, robotic-assisted equipment, etc.

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.
