Optical Engineering Science is a facilitating technology. It underpins the design of commercial optical systems, such as mobile phone cameras and digital cameras as well as highly sophisticated instruments for commercial and research applications. At one end of the scale, this might include the design, manufacture and test of space or aerospace instrumentation. At the other end of the scale, this might embrace optical sensor technology for environmental monitoring. In addition, it is a discipline that is relevant to the laboratory practice in optics in a very wide variety of applications,...
