Abstract
Applications of optics have traditionally conformed to the difficulties and limitations imposed by the practical limits on designing and fabricating optical systems. The operational efficiency of devices, especially military systems, has frequently been compromised by the need to accommodate an adverse environment in a non-optical manner.
