Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fibre laser sensor technologies continue to be widely adopted and have made inroads into virtually every industry as a result of their outstanding properties, such as high inherent sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, high signal-to-noise ratio, remote sensing, and multiplexing capabilities. This technology, already a key component of smart materials and smart structures, is an asset with the capability to drive forward the new age of the “Internet of Things”. The fibre laser sensor technology package itself boasts a compact footprint, high reliability and low maintenance, high stability, high efficiency, tailored operating wavelengths, and a flexible fibre-guided delivery system. Some of the applications include the sensor industry, metrology, research and development, structural health monitoring, smart structures and materials, advanced composites, telecommunications, nano technology, medicine, military, aerospace, energy, industrial production processes, construction, shipbuilding, railway, and transport systems.
This Special Issue aims to explore aspects related to the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of fibre laser sensors, and to present novel and innovative applications of sensors and devices based on fibre laser sensing technology, and will include a wide range of applications of optical sensors.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
