Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fiber-optic sensors have been rapidly developed in recent decades. Thanks to their compact size, good chemical resistance, and immunity to electromagnetic interference, fiber-optic sensors have been widely used in various areas. Many more novel sensors have been invented and developed and could have a large impact in society. This Special Issue seeks reviews, regular research papers and short communications on: (i) new approaches to fabricate fiber-optic sensors, (ii) novel optical methods to measure biomedical properties, and (iii) innovative use of existing fiber-optic sensors in biomedical applications.

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.
