	Optics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Some optical phenomena depend on the quantum nature of light and as such some areas of optics are also related to quantum mechanics.
		Because of the wide application of the science of "light" to real-world applications, the areas of optical science and optical engineering tend to be very cross-disciplinary.
		Optical science is a part of many related disciplines including electrical engineering, physics, psychology, medicine, and others.

	Encyclopedia of Optical Engineering
		Optical Engineering, unlike computer engineering, is a slowly growing engineering discipline that is supported by government laboratories and professional societies, but still lacks the demand necessary for the creation of academic departments.
		Optical Engineering is an area that is concerned with the engineering of a device or system, where light is involved.
		However, the physics programs that include these courses are typically called Optical Sciences or Photonics programs.

	Kollin - Optical Engineering Challenges
		Resolution is limited by beam diffraction and optical aberrations, not by the size of an addressable pixel in a matrix.
		Rather than looking at a screen though a magnifier or optical relay system, the viewer of the VRD has a scanned beam of light enter the pupil of the eye and focused to a spot on the retina.
		Light from the scanner pair enters an optical system, which in present implementations of the VRD forms an aerial image and then uses and eyepiece to magnify and relay this image to infinity.
