ABSTRACT
To create great paintings an artist not only needs a magnificent vision but must also know how to stretch
canvas and mix paint. This chapter discusses practical skills for the design and implementation of
optoelectronic systems. Since art has no agreed boundaries, technical depth may appear inconsistent,
with items perhaps appearing trivial to one reader being useful insights for another, and vice versa. A
specific optoelectronic system is chosen as an example to provide continuity while illustrating many
techniques.
