Advanced Photonic Sensing and Measurement

Dear Colleagues,

During the last decade, advances in photonics are increasingly replacing older technologies, allowing for new capabilities in sensing and measurement. These new components lead to the development of a diverse array of new optical and optoelectronic measuring and sensor systems, enabling cutting-edge applications in diverse areas of science and engineering. To further boost the impact of this exciting and rapidly evolving field, this Special Issue intends to bring together contributions from leading experts in the field, fostering effective solutions for the future challenges in photonic sensing and measurement. Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Optical fiber sensors;
• Biophotonics;
• Optical instrumentation and measurements;
• Photonic devices for sensing and measurements;
• Integrated photonic sensors;
• Interferometers;
• Laser sensors;
• Microwave photonic sensing.

Articles, perspectives, and reviews are all welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
