Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are glad to announce and support this Issue on Recent Advances in Optical Fiber Sensors, to promote the blockbuster advancements that this field is experiencing.
Optical fibers have traditionally been regarded as a medium for high-speed and high-capacity telecommunication, but an increasing interest is building upon their use as sensors, thanks to their unique features of small form factor and remote sensing capability. In addition, optical fiber sensors can have great advantages in different frameworks, ranging from harsh environments to biomedical applications.
This Special Issue is dedicated to presenting new optical fiber sensors for the measurement of physical and chemical quantities. Contributions on both single sensors and distributed sensing techniques are welcome. New interrogation techniques for handling large arrays of sensors as well as innovative calibration and processing techniques that overcome sensitivity limits, perhaps derived from optical communications, are among the subjects of interest.

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.
