In the essence, it is related to four application areas, where “Photonics” is used to connote applied research and development. These are:
- Optical information and communication
- Industrial manufacturing
- Lighting and displays
- Biophotonics in the domain of Life Science
Specifically “Photonics” not only denotes the particle properties of light, the term incorporates all practical applications of optics, and the potential to create, transport and process optical signals.
