Sumario:The field of Optics in Mexico, related with research projects, started at the Instituto de Astronom´¿a, 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, thinfilms deposits, experiments in holography, programs for general optical design, and theory and experiments for testing optical components and instruments.
