AbstractThe unique and tunable properties of polymers open up the possibilities for using these materials in numerous applications. Among various peculiar features, the optical properties of polymers and their novel composites, easy processing techniques, and never-ending possibilities for functionalization make them a reliable candidate for various optoelectronic applications. This chapter seeks to highlight key aspects of the optical properties of polymers and developments in their applications. Different optical properties of polymeric systems will be discussed followed by a small outline of the characterization techniques that are frequently used in this field. A brief look into the manufacturing technologies behind optical polymers is also included. A detailed discussion on polymer optics applications in various fields is given. This chapter also mentions various challenges faced by the system and ways to improve it in a systematic way. The challenges and the future of polymer optics through authors perspective is discussed followed by the conclusion.
