Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical fiber sensors (OFS) are at the forefront of sensing technology due to their unique characteristics, such as their resistance to electromagnetic interference, lightweight qualities, compact size, good metrological properties, and ability to operate in harsh environments. These advantages make them a key solution in various fields, including structural health monitoring, environmental sensing, biomedical applications, biosensing, plant monitoring, and industrial automation. This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative research in OFS. Key topics include advances in fiber Bragg gratings, polymer optical fibers, distributed and interferometric sensing, and the use of novel materials to enhance sensing performance. The issue will provide a platform for researchers and engineers to share the latest technical innovations and explore emerging applications across various fields.

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.
