Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Emphasis is placed on contributions targeted at the practical use of methods and devices, the development and enhancement of solutions and new theoretical concepts for experimental methods.

Optics and Lasers in Engineering reflects the main areas in which optical methods are being used and developed for an engineering environment. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers focusing on parameter optimization or computational issues are not suitable. Similarly, papers focussed on an application rather than the optical method fall outside the journal's scope. The scope of the journal is defined to include the following: 

Optical Metrology 
Optical Methods for 3D visualization and virtual engineering 
Optical Techniques for Microsystems 
Imaging, Microscopy and Adaptive Optics 
Computational Imaging 
Laser methods in manufacturing 
Integrated optical and photonic sensors 
Optics and Photonics in Life Science 
Hyperspectral and spectroscopic methods 
Infrared and Terahertz techniques
