Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Humidity sensors play a crucial role in R&D across various fields, contributing to the advancement of technology and scientific understanding. Spectroscopy is of paramount importance in sensing for the detection of chemical components or the quantification of their concentrations.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of humidity sensors utilizing spectroscopic techniques. Humidity sensing plays a crucial role in a wide range of applications, including environmental monitoring, industrial processes, agriculture, and healthcare. This Special Issue focuses on the development and application of spectroscopic methods for accurate and sensitive humidity sensing.
We invite contributions addressing various aspects of humidity sensors based on spectroscopy, including but not limited to:
- The development and characterization of novel materials and sensing elements for humidity detection using spectroscopic techniques.
- The design and fabrication of optical setups and systems for spectroscopic humidity sensing.
- The integration of spectroscopic humidity sensors into practical devices and applications.
- Advances in data analysis, signal processing, and calibration methods for spectroscopic humidity sensors.
Researchers, scientists, and engineers from both academia and industry are encouraged to submit original research articles, reviews, and technical notes that contribute to the advancement of humidity sensors based on spectroscopy. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, this Special Issue aims to accelerate the development and deployment of spectroscopic-based humidity sensing technologies with improved accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability.

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.
