Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, optical fiber sensors (OFSs) have evolved into indispensable tools across a myriad of industries. In recognition of the continuous advancements in optical fiber sensing methodologies, we cordially extend an invitation for your contribution to our upcoming Special Issue entitled "Recent Advances in Optical Fiber Sensing and Applications". This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advancements in optical fiber sensing technology and its diverse applications. From structural health monitoring to environmental surveillance, from biomedical sensing to industrial process monitoring, the contributions in this issue explore the breadth and depth of optical fiber sensing and applications. We welcome submissions that explore novel methodologies, cutting-edge technologies, practical implementations, and theoretical frameworks in the realm of optical fiber-based sensing.

This Special Issue aims to assemble original research and review articles concerning recent developments and applications of fiber optic sensors, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Optical fiber interferometers;
  • Optical fiber spectroscopy;
  • Fiber Bragg gratings;
  • Distributed fiber optic sensing;
  • Fiber optic imaging system;
  • Specialty optical fibers sensors;
  • Biomedical and healthcare-oriented optical fiber sensors;
  • Integration of machine learning in optical fiber sensor technology;
  • Advanced materials for optical fiber sensing;
  • Novel signal processing methodologies in optical fiber sensing;
  • Diverse industrial applications of fiber optic sensing spanning civil structures, aerospace, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, security, military and defense, and steel industry.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
