electro-opticsn.

Brit.

/ᵻˌlɛktrəʊˈɒptɪks/, U.S.

/əˌlɛktroʊˈɑptɪks/,

/iˌlɛktroʊˈɑptɪks/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: electro- comb. form, optics n.

Etymology: < electro- comb. form + optics n. Compare earlier electro-optic adj., electro-optical adj.

Physics.

The branch of physics concerned with the relationship between electricity and optics; (also) the field of technology concerned with the practical utilization of electro-optical properties and phenomena.
