Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past fifty years, optical fibers have been intensively investigated and widely used in various applications due to their unique features, such as super miniature size, EMI immunity, harsh environment survival ability, and multiplexing capability, etc. The present Special Issue addresses the innovative design, fabrication, and application of optical fibers in sensors and fiber lasers. Furthermore, the current Special Issue invites the submission of research that addresses and investigates the presentation of new fiber sensors and fiber lasers for academic and industrial applications, such as for harsh environment sensing, bio and medical sensing, security monitoring, laser machining, encrypted data transmission, and precise spectroscopy, etc.
The Guest Editors invite contributions to this Special Issue of Sensors in relation, but not limited, to the following topics:
- Novel fiber designs and fabrication;
- Mechanical and electromagnetic field fiber sensors;
- Chemical and biological fiber sensors;
- Distributed fiber sensors;
- Multi-parameter fiber sensors;
- Structural health monitoring systems based on fiber sensors;
- Microstructured optical fiber sensors;
- Fiber laser sensors;
- Novel fiber sensors for harsh environments;
- Multiplexed and networked fiber sensors;
- High-power fiber lasers;
- Pulsed fiber lasers;
- Single-frequency fiber lasers;
- Multi-line fiber lasers;
- Random fiber lasers;
- Applications of fiber lasers.

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.
