Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights the latest progress and innovations in the field of plasmonic sensors, optical sensors which exploit surface plasmon resonances to achieve high sensitivity and specificity in detecting various analytes. This issue covers a comprehensive range of plasmonic sensors, including Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) sensors, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) sensors, and other advanced technologies such as Plasmonic Colorimetric, Nanofiber, Photothermal, Metamaterial, Waveguide, and Fluorescence sensors. The scope includes the design and development of sensing systems, optimization of optical component arrangements, and the creation of novel plasmonic and optical materials. Applications span across biomedical, industrial, telecommunications, manufacturing, and environmental sectors, among many others. We welcome a wide range of paper types, including original research papers, reviews, and case studies, which contribute to the significant advancements in optical sensor technology, material development, system integration, and practical applications. This Special Issue serves as a comprehensive platform for researchers to share innovative findings and advance the field of plasmonic and optical sensing devices.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
