Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to present the current evolution of optical biosensors for the sensitive and specific detection of biomolecules (analytes) taking into account technological and development aspects, such as novel photonic transducers (either based on optical fibers or integrated circuits), signal processing techniques, mathematical and numerical analysis of sensitivity and specificity limits and other sensing characteristics, and innovative fabrication and measurement techniques. Novel classical and quantum principles, advanced materials and metamaterials will also be considered. Finally, it is strongly desirable that the optical biosensors presented and discussed in this Special Issue should exhibit features compatible with the Point-of-Care or Lab-on-a-Chip concepts and visions, and suitable to be used for a number of applications such as medical diagnosis, food safety, environmental control, homeland security, drug discovery, and many others.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
