Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to highlight recent advancements in photonic sensing technologies leveraging optical fiber devices, which are, due to their high sensitivity, robustness, and versatility, crucial for a wide range of applications including environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, industrial sensing, and telecommunications. As the field continues to evolve, innovations in fiber materials, sensor designs, and integration methods are enabling new capabilities and addressing the growing demand for more efficient, multifunctional sensing systems. The goals of this Special Issue are to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research in photonic sensing, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and highlight the future directions of fiber-optic sensor technologies.
We invite original research articles, reviews, and communications to be submitted to this Special Issue and topics may include, but are not limited to:
Novel fiber structures and materials;
Environmental, industrial, and biomedical sensing applications;
Quantum sensing technologies using optical fibers;
Distributed and multiplexed sensing;
Nonlinear and multifunctional fiber sensors;
Fiber-based LIDAR and remote sensing.

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. Photonics 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 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.
