Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the dynamic growth of research on the fabrication of fiber gratings (i.e., fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and long-period gratings (LPGs)) in novel/special optical fibers and their applications has been observed. Currently, the significant progress in the development of fiber gratings technology in non-standard fibers such as silica multicore and few-mode as well as polymer fibers is noticeable. These gratings are finding increasing applications in sensing and biosensing. They are also an integral part of more complex structures such as MMI sensors, grating-based Fabry–Perot interferometers, fiber lasers, as well as complex photonics and microwave photonics subsystems.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect and present recent advances in fiber gratings design/modeling, technology, and their applications in life and science. We invite original and review papers on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Theory and modeling of fiber gratings and grating-based devices;
- Progress in fiber grating technology;
- Special optical fibers for gratings fabrication;
- Fiber grating sensors;
- Fiber-grating-based passive components;
- Fiber-grating-based lasers;
- Fiber-grating-based measurement systems.

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.
