Abstract

The field of Optics in Mexico, related with research projects, started at the Instituto de Astronomía, UNAM, since 1960. Therefore, the first projects and papers were mainly dedicated to astronomical instruments. After sometime, other projects started other areas of Optics as for example the production of He-Ne gas lasers, thin films deposits, experiments in holography, programs for general optical design, and theory and experiments for testing optical components and instruments.
