I would like to know the name of a person who works with lasers and optical fibers? I have tried searching on google and asking people that I could get any answer from.

There doesn't appear to be any specific term for someone who works with or studies optics.– Simon BSep 28, 2017 at 22:41

1We're probably going to need a description of the work, because often it's what one does which is described, rather than the materials. Please edit the question to add that.– Andrew Leach ♦Sep 28, 2017 at 22:54

The field is called "photonics". The person is a "photonics engineer", "photonics scientist", "photonics technician" etc. depending on what exactly they do.
