New Materials, Structures, and Concepts for Optical Fiber Sensing Applications

Call for Papers

Optical fiber sensor has been a rapidly expanding field in the past few decades. Many sensor devices and systems have been successfully developed for a great variety of measurements and applications, while new materials, structures, and concepts are continuously emerging in the field.

We invite authors to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts in exploiting new materials, structures, and concepts for optical fiber sensing applications. The aim of this special issue is to provide an open forum for international experts to report their recent research progress, summarize their outcomes, and reveal the development trends in the field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Fiber interferometers
• Fiber gratings
• New fiber devices and structures
• High-temperature sensors
• Chemical/biochemical and environmental sensors
• Microstructured fibers
• Polymer fibers
• Micro-/nanofibers
• Specialty fibers
• New material-based fiber sensors
• New concept sensors
• New sensor applications
• Sensing techniques in industrial situations
• Surface Raman scattering
