"Electro-optics is a branch of electrical engineering and material physics involving components, devices, and systems which operate by the propagation and interaction of light with various tailored materials. Building a modern electro-optical instrument may be the most interdisciplinary job in all of engineering. Any project involves physics, electrical engineering, optical engineering, and computer science interacting in complex ways"--
