Special Issue Information
Optical fiber sensors have been extensively developed in recent years. They are particularly attractive due to their small size and immunity to external electromagnetic fields. This Special Issue will focus on the design, fabrication, characterization, and applications of optical fiber ring laser sensors. These sensors are of particular importance due to their high sensitivity, large signal-to-noise ratio and stability. The scope of this Special Issue includes basic physical principles, modeling and simulation, and potential new applications.
Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- High measurement sensitivity associated with fiber ring laser sensors incorporating Mach–Zehnder, Fabry–Pérot, and Sagnac interferometers.
- Elements necessary for the construction of optical fiber ring laser sensors, for example, fiber Bragg or long-period gratings, couplers, amplifiers, and lasers that additionally enhance the sensitivity and resolution of potential sensor set-ups.
- Optical fiber ring laser sensors using various types of special fibers, including polarization-maintaining fibers or photonic crystal fibers.
- Modeling and simulation
- Applications of optical fiber ring laser sensors in, for example, biomedicine, health monitoring, environmental monitoring, agriculture, aeronautics, and other emerging areas.

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.
