Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical sensing, as a rapid, sensitive and non-invasive detection technology, plays an increasingly vital role in structural health monitoring (SHM). In recent years, fiber optic sensing technologies such as BOTDR, FBG and OFDR have been gradually applied, and the application areas are designed for civil engineering, aerospace, mining, marine engineering and other fields, with new testing techniques and methods constantly appearing. This Special Issue aims to focus on the latest research achievements in the field of optical sensing, including, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Novel optical sensors and equipment;
- Applications of fiber optic sensing (including of BOTDA/R,FBG, WFBG, LFBG or OFDR) in civil engineering, aerospace and environmental monitoring;
- Advanced sensor R&D and engineering practice;
- High-sensitivity fiber optic sensing test methods and principles;
- Small- or large-scale model tests based on fiber optic sensing technology.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
