Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Probing matter with light has been one of the most elegant and non-destructive means for scientists to study, explore and understand bio/chemical events and processes. Exploiting light–matter interaction effects extends the horizons of innovation and opens new pathways in the fields of medical diagnostics, point-of-need analysis, food safety and quality assessment, and environmental monitoring. At the same time, advances in novel optoelectronic materials and nanostructures alongside recent advances in nanofabrication are contributing to the progress of photonic sensing technologies and form the basis for the next generation of techniques and devices.
This Special issue is devoted to collecting recent advances in fabrication, novel optoelectronic materials and photonic structures, with a strong emphasis on novel optoelectronic and photonic devices for sensing applications, such as medical and biochemical diagnostics (both in vivo and in vitro), environmental monitoring, food quality and safety assessment, biohazard detection, safety and security, and even bioimaging. The topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Novel structures and materials for optical sensing;
- Fabrication techniques for optical transducers;
- Nanophotonics;
- Optoelectronic and photonic sensors;
- Point-of-care/point-of-need optical sensors;
- New concepts, principles and/or transducers for optical sensing;
- In vivo diagnostics;
- Optical cellular probes
- Pathogen/microorgansim optical detection;
- Nanomaterials for intracellular imaging;
- Multimodal and multiplexed photonic sensing platforms.

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.
