Quantum-mechanical and optical pseudo-Hermitian systems are reviewed with emphasis on PT-symmetric systems important for optics and electrodynamics. One of the most interesting and much discussed consequences of PT-symmetry is a phase transition with the breaking of the symmetry of the system's eigenstates. We show in the review that, although this phase transition is difficult to realize experimentally, a similar transition can be observed in quasi-PT-symmetric systems. Other effects predicted for PT-symmetric systems are not specific for these systems and can be observed in ordinary fully-passive systems.
