Abstract
The field of optics continues to grow almost without limits as optics becomes an enabling technology for an ever wider range of scientific, engineering, and technological applications, New areas and applications of optics continually emerge, bringing new groups of people into the optics community. Commercial opportunities in optics arc expanding rapidly. At the same time optical science and optical engineering have become ever more closely linked, and the world itself more globally interconnected, so that workers in all areas of optics become one worldwide community.
