Optical engineering is likewise important to fiber-optic technology, which sends information through cables using impulses of mild instead of power.

2. Optical engineering is the
engineering discipline that
focuses on the design of
equipment and devices
that function by using
light. It is based on the
science of optics, a field of
physics that studies the
properties and behaviors
of visible light and its two
nearest neighbors on the
electromagnetic
spectrum, infrared and
ultraviolet.

3.  Some practical applications of optics can be done
using a model of electromagnetic radiation based
on classical physics.
 This is because the predictions of modern quantum
mechanics diverge noticeably from classical
mechanics only at the atomic or subatomic scale or
under extremely unusual conditions such as near-
absolute zero temperatures.

4.  Optical engineering is the
field of study that focuses
on applications of optics.
 Optical engineers design
components of optical
instruments such as lenses,
microscopes, telescopes,
and other equipment that
utilizes the properties of
light.
 A laser is a device that
emits light through a
process of optical
amplification based on
the stimulated emission of
electromagnetic radiation.
 The term "laser"
originated as an acronym
for Light Amplification by
Stimulated Emission of
Radiation.
