Feature Issue of Optics Express

Optical Sensors 2022

Submission Opens:15 June 2022

Submission Deadline: 1 October 2022

Optics Express welcomes submissions to a feature issue on "Optical Sensors 2022" in conjunction with the Optical Sensors topical meeting collocated with the Optical Sensors and Sensing Congress, which will take place on 11-15 July 2022 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The journal welcomes submissions only from the oral and poster papers accepted for the meeting.

The meeting provides a forum for both the development of innovative optical sensors and their applications, bringing together sensor developers and users, and providing a showcase for the latest sensor prototypes and products. The feature issue will particularly focus on optical fiber sensors, environmental sensing, Fourier transform spectroscopy, laser sensing, and hyperspectral imaging.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Optical fiber sensors
  • Biomedical optical sensors
  • Planar waveguide sensors
  • Quantum optical sensing
  • Laser sensors
  • Stand-off sensors
  • Sensors for defense and security
  • Sensors for aerospace
  • Sensors for food quality
  • Hyperspectral sensors and imaging
  • Novel disruptive sensors
  • Photonics environmental sensors
  • Sensors for pollution monitoring
  • Optics and photonics for harsh environments
  • Interferometric sensors
  • Laser frequency comb sensing
  • Remote sensing
  • LiDAR

All submissions need to present original, previously unpublished work and will be subject to the normal standards and peer review processes of the journal. The standard Optics Express Article Processing Charges will apply to all published articles. To be eligible for publication, an expanded conference paper needs to add value to the original conference proceedings and the conference paper number must be included in the cover letter at submission. Please see Optica Publishing Group's guidelines on expanded conference papers for details.

Please prepare manuscripts according to the author instructions for submission to Optics Express and submit through our electronic submission system, specifying from the drop-down menu that the manuscript is for the feature issue on Optical Sensors 2022.
