Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of Biosensors that will be dedicated to “Silicon Photonic Biosensors and Related Applications”.
Silicon photonics has emerged as a disruptive optoelectronic device technology with a scaling capability on integration and energy efficiency. Using the established CMOS electronics infrastructure, inexpensive optical links can be fabricated for a wide variety of applications. While the first field where silicon photonics is established as a key technology is related to short-distance optical communication systems, silicon-based optical biosensors have also made significant progress in recent years. Integrated photonic biosensors based on silicon technology have unique advantages in terms of compactness, and small size, offering early diagnostic tools with better sensitivity, specificity, and reliability.
The aim of this Special Issue is to put together a collection of papers covering different applications (so as to offer a broad panorama of the possible silicon photonics purposes) and highlighting the most recent scientific discoveries and trends in this continuously and rapidly evolving field.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
