Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful optical phenomenon that has revolutionized the field of sensing. It involves the interaction between light and free electrons at the interface between a metal and dielectric material, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and real-time monitoring capabilities. There are numerous theoretical models and simulations that aid in understanding SPR physics; on the other hand, new signal analysis techniques are utilized to enhance its detection limits. SPR is applied in several fields, including biomedical sciences, environmental monitoring, and chemical analysis, because of its efficiency. For instance, SPR biosensors enable label-free detection of proteins, DNA, and pollutants, making them suitable for point-of-care diagnostics and on-site monitoring.
This Special Issue aims to explore the recent advancements in SPR technology, covering sensor design, materials, theoretical models, signal analysis techniques, and applications. It will focus on designing SPR-based sensing platforms with enhanced sensitivity and selectivity and highlight the importance of optimizing plasmonic nanostructures and materials for improved sensor performance. We hope to provide a valuable resource for researchers and scientists in optical sensing and nanotechnology. Potential contribution topics include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned 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. 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.
