Definition von photonics im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch
the science and technology of generating and controlling photons, particularly in the visible and near infrared light spectrum
The technology that uses light particles (photons) to carry information over hair-thin fibres of very pure glass
Technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation, modulation and detection, and from information storage, processing and communications Photonics incorporates the fields of optics, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry and materials science
The science of photons, or light Optical networks will be the hallmark of the broadband era, and over the next decade photonics will become as much a part of the popular lexicon as electronics is today
A broad field of research encompassing optoelectronics, passive optical components, micro- optics, lasers, photoprocessing, spectroscopy, optical instruments, and optical systems, including optical interconnect and communications systems Photonics is primarily concerned with the spectral range 160 nm to 1600 nm (end of vacuum UV to near IR) Other important spectral regions: infrared spectrometry (2-25 um), blackbody radiation detection (8-12 um) The key building blocks of photonics are: sources of photons, detectors of photons, driver and detection electronics, photon control devices (optics, waveguides, couplers etc ), and their integration in systems which may include other elements (sensor, rf device, CMOS) [NMRC National Microelectronics Research Centre, Ireland "What is Photonics?" 2001] http: //www nmrc ie/research/photonics-group/trends html
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon for a range of applications ranging from detection to laser energy production to communications and information processing
are systems that generate and transmit light (photons) Most photonic systems use electricity and electronic circuits as their source of energy Photonics is related to electro-optic technology, that is, the combining of electronics and optics For example, a laser is pulsed with electricity to produce modulated light pulses to transmit data
{i} study of electromagnetic energy wherein the basic unit is the photon; technology of using photons to transport information over extremely thin fibers of glass
