Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber optic sensors have been exploited for the last several decades, and there have been significant advances in energy-monitoring applications. Fiber optic sensors represent a rapidly growing research area, where challenges concerning increased sensitivity, selectivity, resolution, harsh environment, and cost reduction capability need to be thoroughly addressed.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the advancements and explore new findings that expand the possibilities of fiber-optic sensors usage in energy applications. Both original research papers and review articles describing the current state-of-the-art in this research field are welcome. This Special Issue brings out the immense diversity in every perspective of the evolution of fiber-optic sensor science and technologies.
The list of topics includes, but is not limited to;
- Specialty fibers and passive/active fiber systems for sensing applications.
- Distributed fiber-optic-sensors-based Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman scattering.
- Physical, chemical, acoustics, and electromagnetic fiber sensors.
- FBG, SMS, fiber ring, Fabry–Pérot, and other novel fiber sensing structures.
- Fiber sensors with big data, AI/machine learning methods, and sensor data processing.
- High-temperature, radiation, leak detection in harsh environment energy applications.
- Advanced sensitive materials to fabricate optical fiber sensors.
- Fabrication, modeling, and multiparameter sensing fiber devices.
- Fiber sensors in energy industry practices.

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.
