	Atomic, molecular, and optical physics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atomic, molecular, and optical physics is the study of matter-matter and light-matter interactions on the scale of single atoms or structures containing a few atoms.
		Optical physics is distinct from optics in that it tends to focus not on the control of classical light fields by macroscopic objects, but on the fundamental properties of optical fields and their interactions with matter in the microscopic realm.
		subfields: atomic physics, molecular physics, spectroscopy, physical chemistry, classical optics, quantum optics, photonics
