Hello,

I want to get an exact definition of Optronics and its differences between
Opto-Electronics.

Thanks.
Oliver.

Optronics is defined as "electronics" with the "elect" removed and
"opt" substituted. For some reason "optics" or "optical engineering"
is just not good enough for some people. You don't see mechanical
engineers working in "mechtronics" or petroleum engineers calling
their field "petronics." :)
best regards
mark
