WHAT DOES PHOTONICS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

photonics

Photonics

The science of photonics includes the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and detection/sensing of light. The term photonics thereby emphasizes that photons are neither particles nor waves — they have both particle and wave nature. It covers all technical applications of light over the whole spectrum from ultraviolet over the visible to the near-, mid- and far-infrared. Most applications, however, are in the range of the visible and near infrared light. The term photonics developed as an outgrowth of the first practical semiconductor light emitters invented in the early 1960s and optical fibers developed in the 1970s.

Definition of photonics in the English dictionary

The definition of photonics in the dictionary is the study and design of devices and systems, such as optical fibres, that depend on the transmission, modulation, or amplification of streams of photons.
