Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This sub-session on “Optics and Lasers” covers topics in information optics. Modern information optics has been applied in many important areas, such as 3D inspection, 3D microscopy, metrology and profilometry, augmented reality, and industricl informatics. These topics are not meant to be exhaustive but rather to reflect current selected interests in modern information optics to information technology. Your contributions toward the subsession are highly aprreciated. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding the sub-session.
