Abstract: Detailed rules are given for preparing a manuscript for Photonic Sensors.
Keywords: keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3(Please provide three to six keywords.)
1. Introduction
Photonic Sensors is a refereed international
journal jointly published by UESTC and Springer on
a quarterly basis in English. Online versions are
available through http://www.springerlink.com.
Photonic Sensors publishes original, peer-reviewed
articles that report new developments of interest to
both the photonics and sensor communities in all
fields of photonic sensing science and technology.
Topics include optical fiber sensors, planar waveguide
sensors, laser-based sensors, and biophotonic sensors,
etc. It mainly publishes experimental contributions
related to novel principle, structures or materials for
photonic sensors. Papers that report investigations
based on combinations of experimental and
analytical/numerical approaches are also welcome.
address, telephone, and E-mail address.
2.1 Submission format
The acceptable manuscripts should be prepared
in MS WORD using this template. The format of the
template is in double-column with figures and tables
included within the text. At the same time all figures
should be submitted as separate files in one ZIP/RAR
archive. The resolution should be: Color and Grayscale:
600～1200dpi, Bitmap: 2400～36000dpi.
2.2 Manuscript length
There is no limitation on the manuscript length
for review and regular articles. The length of Letters
should not exceed 4 pages.
3. Typographical style
2. Manuscript submission
3.1 Main text
Authors are encouraged to submit their
manuscript
electronically
by
e-mail
to
[email protected]. To ensure rapid
communication, authors should include full post
Please use American English rather than British
English through the manuscript. Create a 6-pt. space
above and below each subsection heading as shown
in this paper.

Photonic Sensors
The family name of all the authors should be in
the capital form.
3.2 Equations
All equations should be created in MathType.
Equations should be centered. Equations should
have a 6-pt. space above and below the text. The
equation number should appear only at the right
hand margin of the last line of the equation:
( 1)
E  mc 2
All equations should be numbered in the order
in which they appear and should be referenced from
within the main text as Eq. (1). In-line math of
simple fractions should use parentheses when
necessary to avoid ambiguity; for example, to
distinguish between 1/(n  1) and 1/n  1.
3.3 Figures
Figures should be included directly in the
document. All illustrations must be numbered
consecutively with Arabic numbers. Figures must be
inserted as objects that are fixed and move with the
text, not as floating objects, see Fig. 1 for example.

Fabry-Perot sensor.
Photonic Sensors does not accept multimedia
files. All figure captions should be centered beneath
the figure. Longer figure captions should be
centered beneath the figure and alignment double
(left and right) justified. The abbreviation “Fig.” for
figure should appear first followed by the figure
number and a period. Captions should be in 9- pt.
font. At least one line of space should be left before

the figure and after the caption.
3.4 Tables
Tables should be centered and numbered
consecutively. Authors must use Word’s Table editor
to insert tables. Tables should use horizontal lines to
delimit the top and bottom of the table and column
headings. Detailed explanations or table footnotes
should be typed directly beneath the table.

3.5 References
References should appear in the order in which
they are referenced in the body of the paper (see
below). The font should be 10-pt. and alignment
double (left and right) justified. Lines should be
single-spaced. The words “References” should head
the section (no number) in bold print followed by
one blank line, directly above the first reference.
Photonic Sensors uses numerical notation in
brackets for bibliographic citations. At the point of
citation within the main text, designate the reference
by typing the number in after the last corresponding
word [1]. Two references [2-3], should be included
together, separated by a comma, while three or more
consecutive references should be indicated by the
bounding numbers and a dash [1-3].
