- Near-field optics - Near-field optics is that branch of optics that considers configurations that depend on the passage of light to, from, through, or near a delement with subwavelength features and the coupling of that light to a second element located a subwavelength distance from the first. The barrier of spatial resolution imposed by the very nature ...
- Crystal optics - Crystal optics is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in anisotropic media, that is, media (such as crystals) in which light behaves differently depending on which direction the light is propagating. Crystals are often naturally anisotropic, and in some media (such as liquid crystals) it is possible to induce anisotropy ...
- Nonlinear optics - Nonlinear optics (NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in nonlinear media, that is, media in which the polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity is typically only observed at very high light intensities such as those provided by pulsed lasers.
- Optik - International Journal for Light and Electron Optics - Optik – International Journal for Light and Electron Optics, or simply Optik (German word which means Optics)
- Optics - Optics ( appearance or look in Ancient Greek) is a branch of physics that describes the behavior and properties of light and the interaction of light with matter. Optics explains optical phenomena.
