Introduction

摘要

Building on the success of last year's inaugural Conference on Photonic Instrumentation, this year's proceedings continue developing the singular yet foundational concept of measurement using light. As SPIE and the world celebrate the International Year of Light, it is worth reflecting on the sheer pervasiveness of optical technology used throughout everyday life. The work within this volume represents an excellent cross-section of how optical physics from the quantum to the macro level can be effectively employed in the real world.
