Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanophotonics is an appealing technology for several biochemical and physical sensing applications. It deals with manipulation and light-matter interactions at the nanoscale. Nanophotonics covers two main branches: Integrated photonics and metamaterials. Integrated photonics has its roots in telecommunication applications and is nowadays largely recognized for the development of high performance sensors having low cost, small footprint, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and reduced invasiveness. Nanophotonic-integrated sensors present great potential in Point-of Care diagnostics, where a reduction of both health care cost and diagnostic time is expected. Alzheimer biomarkers, cardiac markers, the monitoring of greenhouse CO2 levels, temperature and pressure (sound and ultrasound) are typical applications where nanophotonic sensing can demonstrate its efficiency. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and make readily available the most significant theoretical and/or experimental works in this research field, in order to propose performance improvement strategies and to show future development directions that can overcome current technological obstacles toward industrialization. Papers addressing a wide range of applications of nanophotonic integrated sensors are sought; topics include, but are not limited to, recent developments in the following areas: Integrated interferometric sensors, ultra-high-Q photonic cavity sensors, integrated quantum sensors, infrared and mid-infrared guided-wave nanophotonic sensors, and read-outs for nanophotonic 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.
