Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in fiber optics (FOs) and the numerous advantages of light over electronic systems have boosted the utility and demand for optical sensors in various military, medicine/pharmacy, engineering/industry, and social fields. The inherent advantages of fiber optic sensors such as their light weight, small size, longer lifetime, passive, low attenuation, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), wide bandwidth, and environmental ruggedness have been heavily used to offset the major disadvantage of high cost, which makes FOs the sensor technology of choice in many fields, including the healthcare, environmental monitoring, and aerospace sectors.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest innovations, applications, and challenges in fiber optic sensor technologies. Thus, we invite you to submit short communications, full research articles, and timely reviews focusing on advanced fiber optic sensor technologies.
Prof. Dr. Shiquan Tao

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.
