Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensing solutions for the 21st century should meet increased mandatory requirements like multi-parametrs sensing, low cost, low power consumption, easy-to-use technologies, DATA collection in real time, and reliable measurement information.
Optical fiber sensors-based technology is a promising solution with its accelerated evolution from the simplest configurations for strain, temperature, vibration detection and electrical current measurement to complex structures that combine many diverse materials and detection schemas to create a smart sensing lab-on-fiber platforme.
This Special Issue will focus on the latest developments, new applications, and trends in optical fiber sensors.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the following:
-Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs): Modeling and simulation, Fabrication, Multiparameters sensing, dynamic and quasistatic measurements, Applications in civil and geotechnical engineering, and biological and living systems.
-Distrubuted optical fiber sensors (DOFSs) based on Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman scattering for strain, vibrations and temperature measurement: Modeling and simulation, Multiparameters sensing, dynamic and quasistatic measurements, civil engineering applications, geotechnical engineering applications, automotive applications and Harsh environment applications.
-Lab-on-fiber for Chemical and Biological Sensing: Nanophotonics, Plasmonics, and Biosensing.
-New designs and construction of optical fiber sensors: Material developments for optical fiber sensors, components, and systems for optical sensing.
-Innovative approaches for optoelectronic transducers
The latest applications and technological developments in the fild of optical fiber sensors will be shared through this special issue. We invite researchers and investigators to contribute their original research or review articles to this Special Issue.

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.
