Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical gas sensing techniques fill a crucial gap between low cost sensors with limited performance, such as calorimetric, semiconductor and electrochemical gas sensors, and expensive laboratory equipment, such as gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers. The high selectivity and sensitivity, combined with the potentiality of the real time and in situ monitoring, make optical gas sensors excellent candidates for several real-world applications, such as industrial process control, safety, medical diagnostic and environmental monitoring. To-date, several high-resolution optical techniques have been largely investigated. These are based on non-dispersive sensing, spectrophotometry, and tunable diode laser spectroscopy. The latter includes several detection schemes, based on high finesse optical cavities, multi-pass cells, optical fibres and photo-acoustic effect.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Optical Gas Sensing Techniques”, will focus on original papers reporting recent developments in these techniques, new insights in gas-sensing methods, as well as on the important key sensing components and on field-testing applications. Both reviews and original research articles will be published. Reviews should provide an up-to-date overview of the current state-of-the-art of a particular optical gas sensing technique corroborated with results from other research groups. We look forward to, and welcome, your participation in this Special Issue.

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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
