Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovative laser-based sensing technologies is a scientific branch itself. The high-quality coherent light offered by lasers has endless uses when it comes to sensing the world around us with maximum accuracy and minimum perturbation.
This Special Issue on “Latest Trends in Laser based Sensing Technologies” will serve as a showcase of the most recent and relevant advances in the field, oriented to the following topics (but not limited to):
- Laser-based spectroscopy and imaging techniques from UV to THz range, including NIR and MIR. Focus on temporally resolved information.
- Novel laser sources for precise and versatile interrogation: diode lasers technologies (VCSELs, VECSELS, QCLs, …), fiber lasers, optical frequency combs, nonlinear optical sources, microring resonators…
- Measurement principles: absorption, fluorescence, reflection, scattering, photoacoustic and photothermal, Raman, coherent anti-Stokes Raman (CARS), dispersion, dual-optical frequency combs, etc.
- Application areas: air monitoring, functionalized sensors for bio, biomedical spectroscopy, combustion analysis, liquid a solid state, agriculture, food science…
- Laser-based sensors for gases, liquids, and solids
- Fiber based optical sensor interrogated by special laser sources: microstructured optical fibers, fiber Bragg grating systems…
- New photonic integrated circuits for sensing applications
- Convergence of photonics with microfluidics systems for lab-on-a-chip applications
- Recent advances in photonic quantum sensors, both theoretical an experimental findings.

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.
