Preface
Optics/Photonics and Opto-electronics are indispensable in almost all spheres of life, ranging from everyday life requirements such as communication and biomedicine to advanced science and technology. Starting from basic classical geometric and physical optics and quantum optics, there has been tremendous technological advancement as a result of which we have areas such as optical communication networks, optical information processing, space optics, electrooptics, Opto-mechatronics
