Optical engineer: Using engineering knowledge and mathematical theories and methods, design technologies applied in the fields of optical information processing, optical communication and light energy. Mainly engaged in optical design, laser principle and technology, guided wave optics, thin film optics, optical materials and technology, radiation measurement and colorimetry, Fourier optics, optical information processing, nonlinear optics, quantum optics, optical communication principle, metrology, detection and sensing technology, optical metrology and testing.

But there is no optical engineer in the national engineer certification. If you want to be an engineer, you can take an examination of foreign languages and computers with professional titles, and then the company will come forward to select engineers. Then I specialized in this field of optics, that is, I became an optical engineer.

In recent years, in some important fields, the information carrier is expanding from electromagnetic wave band to optical wave band, which makes the main body of modern optical industry focus on photoelectric information industry such as optical information acquisition, transmission, processing, recording, storage, display and sensing. These industries generally have the technical characteristics of digitalization, integration and microstructure. While the traditional optical system can still play an important role through continuous intelligence and automation, the research of micro-optical system integrating sensing, processing and execution functions and the role of photons in information science will become an important development direction of optical engineering in the future.

Generally, many photoelectric systems and lighting enterprises need a large number of optical engineers.

Therefore, it can be said that the future of optical engineers is bright, and their future development prospects are also very promising. At present, they are short of talents, and their salary is better than other industries.
