Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The guided wave optics device for photonic sensors (including optical fiber sensors, planar waveguide sensors, and optical sensors) has been intensively studied over two decades for applications in biological and chemical measurements. Photonic sensors may be built based on different mechanisms such as intensity-based, phase-based, polarization-based, wavelength-based, Raman scattering-based, spectroscopic, surface plasmon resonance, and fluorescence emitted types. Progress in designing photonic sensors continues with new mechanism and guided wave optics device in different new fields. Thus, the special issue of journal of Chemosensors includes:
- sensors based on optics/planar waveguide/ novel fibers including photonic crystal fiber, photonic bandgap fiber, and other specialty fiber like micro-nano fiber
- novel demodulation techniques
- applications in relatively new areas such as biomedical engineering and chemical engineering.
This special issue will give the reader some of the exciting areas of photonic sensors with this collection of innovative research articles. There will be no fees for all manuscripts 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. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
