Optics involves the generation, transmission, and detection of light. Missouri S&T faculty are helping to create better laser-diode light sources and improved solar cells, are developing fiber-optic sensors that can be used for everything from detecting strain in bridges and building, to measuring concussive blasts, to detecting leaks in natural gas pipes and wells, and are using the fundamental principles of light to develop optical and quantum computers.
