Optics: Form, Function and the Future
Oct 3, 2017 — For all of their diversity of form and function, the vast range of available optical components and optical fibers have much in common — materials, engineering and design, and techniques in fabrication and metrology. And they are among the critical enabling technologies of the future. Today, optical technologies are integral to sensors, microscopes, lasers, cameras and more, and the list keeps growing. They are employed by the military for field detection in submarines and IR imaging
