Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Beyond their typical applications in communications and sensing, optical fibers and fiber sensors have been extensively utilized in radiation-related environments (e.g., aerospace, high-energy physics experiments, nuclear industry, medicine, etc.) due to their multiple advantages, such as their high sensitivity and resolution measurements, low-cost implementation, small size and weight, immunity to electromagnetic interferences, chemical inertness, long-distance monitoring, and high multiplexing capability. Based on their response, fiber-optic devices can be utilized for the measurement of several parameters in radiation environments if they are able to withstand the radiation. Alternatively, they can be employed as dosimeters by exploiting the radiation-induced effects of materials.
Following the success of our first edition Special Issue on “Optical Fiber Sensors in Radiation Environments”, we would like to once again invite our colleagues from across the world to contribute their expertise, insights, and findings in the form of original research articles and reviews for the current Special Issue, entitled "Optical Fiber Sensors in Radiation Environments - 2nd Edition". This Special Issue will focus on the latest developments and trends in optical fiber sensors for radiation environments, addressing recent improvements in the related theory, design, fabrication, and application/validation. We warmly invite you to participate by submitting original research papers, communications, and review articles in order to provide useful insights into the present status and future of this area.

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.
