Subcategories
- Collimators - a device that narrows a beam of particles or waves
- Displays - a device which displays light to interact with users
- Holographic optical components - components that allow light to be scattered from an object to be recorded and reconstructed later

- Light deflectors - devices that deflect light
- Lighting - the production of visible light
- Luminescent devices - devices that emit light from a substance not resulting from heat
- Mirrors - an object which reflects light
