The study of light has been an important part of science from its
beginning. The ancient Greeks and, prior to the Middle Ages,
Islamic scholars provided important insights. With the coming of
the Scientific Revolution in the 16th and 17th centuries, optics,
in the shape of telescopes and microscopes, provided the means to
study the universe from the very distant to the very small. Newton
introduced a scientific study of the nature of light itself and
today optics remains a key element of modern science, not only as
an enabling technology, but in quantum optics, as a means of
testing our fundamental understanding of quantum theory and the
nature of reality itself.
