Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that interact with light. In this context, light often includes invisible forms of radiation such as ultraviolet and infrared. Optoelectronic devices are electrical-to-optical or optical-to-electrical transducers, or instruments that use such devices in their operation.
Electro-optics is often erroneously used as a synonym, but is in fact a wider branch of physics that deals with all interactions between light and electric charge, whether or not they form part of an electronic device.

Although there are many books focused on sensors however no encyclopedic reference work has been published as of today.
This encyclopedia will cover all aspects of sensor science and technology dealing with all types of sensor materials, their synthesis and spectroscopic characterization, sensor designs, fabrication and manufacturing techniques, sensor probes, features, physical, chemical and biosensors, their applications in electronics, photonic and optoelectronic industries, medicine, surface sensing, food industry, environmental engineering and nanotechnology.
It is written for a wide range of audience from non-scientists to active scientists and engineers, professionals and experts working in the field of sensors.
