Introduction

The optical science and technology of Laser, Photonics and Vision is a field of knowledge whose objective is the study of the generation, transmission, detection, control and manipulation of light. This study is oriented towards the development of technologies with applications of high interest in multiple and disparate socioeconomic and health fields, ranging from telecommunications, life and health sciences, the environment, industrial metrology, leisure... to the scientific-technical frontiers such as nano-optics, quantum processing and communications, optical metamaterials, etc.

This science ranges from the development of devices that are part of everyday life to innovative research that reaches the frontiers of scientific knowledge. The evolution of optical science and technology of Laser, Photonics and Vision has been constant throughout history, accompanying the development of many other disciplines that directly contributed to progress and innovation. Currently and naturally, optics is complemented by electronics, computing, micromechanics, etc., giving rise to a myriad of highly specialized applications (industrial optical metrology techniques, bio-optical instrumentation, environmental optical sensors). , telecommunications, correction of visual defects, lighting, etc) and consumer products (digital cameras, projectors, optical storage media, all kinds of ophthalmic lenses, etc). In socio-political terms, the scientific-technical sector of optical and photonic science and technology is extremely important for the great challenges of the 21st century, and in fact photonic technologies are considered strategic technologies (KETs) by the Commission European.
