Research areas
Photonics is the science of light; it is the technology of generating (and harnessing) light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon.
The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems.
