Optics has had a tremendous impact on our quality of life by providing innovations in the areas of communications, sensing, medicine, and manufacturing. For example, advances in optical communication systems and networks have bridged distances across the globe and resulted in dramatic technological and social changes through the exchange of goods, knowledge, and finance at unprecedented data rates. As a second example, optical sensing is now regularly used to help ensure a safe, living environment: we can monitor water and air quality, detect hazardous materials or chemicals, and probe the integrity of our civil and transportation infrastructure.

光学通过在通信、传感、医学和制造领域提供创新，对我们的生活质量产生了巨大的影响。例如，光通信系统和网络的进步弥合了全球的距离，并通过以前所未有的数据速率交换货物、知识和资金，带来了巨大的技术和社会变革。第二个例子是，光学传感现在经常用于帮助确保安全的生活环境：我们可以监测水和空气质量，检测有害物质或化学物质，并探测我们的民用和交通基础设施的完整性。
