Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Optical Fiber Interferometers and Resonators

Dear Colleagues,

Optical fibers are widespread and powerful tools for remote, non-invasive sensing of physical, chemical, and biological quantities. Thanks to their peculiar features, they are employed in a myriad of applications in the most disparate fields today.

Optical interferometers and resonators have proven to be the cornerstones of modern science and technology. Their use is crucial in diverse fields, such as physical, chemical, and biological sensing; laser physics and spectroscopy; optical engineering; telecommunications; metrology; and fundamental physics. Depending on the application, a variety of geometries and materials have been adopted to fabricate suitable sensors: from standard bench-top mirrors to optical integrated systems, from any sort of laser to optical fiber and planar waveguides, from photonic crystals and nanostructures to dielectric and plasmonic architectures.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the most recent scientific results on fiber-optic sensors enhanced by different optical designs, materials, and interrogation techniques harnessing optical interference and resonance phenomena. Fields of applications include, but are not limited to, fundamental and applied physics, quantum sensing, engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, environment, structural and industrial monitoring, health, mobility, security, agriculture, and blue and green technologies.

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.
