Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The exploration of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is a pivotal aspect of optical fiber technology, given their extensive applications in fiber sensing, optical communications, and laser systems. In sensing applications, FBGs are utilized to measure strain, temperature, vibration, pressure, and other physical parameters, as changes in these conditions cause shifts in the Bragg wavelength. In communication and laser applications, FBGs act as wavelength-specific reflectors or filters, significantly enhancing the efficiency and performance of fiber networks.
This Special Issue, entitled ‘Novel Advances in Optical Fiber Gratings’, aims to showcase the latest innovations and advancements in FBG research. We invite manuscripts that provide novel insights or breakthroughs in either fabrication or applications. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fiber grating inscription;
- Fiber grating sensors;
- Applications of fiber gratings in fiber lasers;
- New technologies and applications of grating sensors;
- Distributed and multiplexed sensing and sensor networking;
- Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted grating applications;
- Performance-enhanced grating sensors in industrial applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
