Frontiers in Fiber Optic Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue of Chemosensors, we invite you to contribute novel and high-quality research in the design, fabrication, and characterization of fiber optic sensors, and their applications in chemical sensing. In the last few decades, there has been growing interest in fiber-optic approaches to solve sensing problems, as this technology offers applied solutions to a wide range of sensing challenges. With recent advances in optical fiber technology, ultrafast lasers, sensor design/simulation tools, and optical interrogation systems, fiber optic sensing technology is expected to dominate the sensing industry even further. To this end, the exploitation of optical fibers for sensing solutions is expected to continue in the years to come.

We welcome both original and review articles covering a broad spectrum of fiber optic sensing technologies and applications. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel fiber optic sensor design and/or fabrication
• New developments in optical fibers for sensing applications
• Fiber-optic chemical and biosensing
• Grating or interferometric fiber-optic sensing
• Optical fiber-based plasmonic sensors
• Label-based and label-free optical sensing
• Emergent sensing applications in environmental monitoring

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. Chemosensors 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.
