What is photonics?
Photonics is an area of study that involves the use of radiant energy (such as light), whose fundamental element is the photon. Photonic applications use the photon in the same way that electronic applications use the electron.
The term photonics is used for any science or technology that uses light, combining
optics, electro-optics, and optoelectronics. It is both its own
industry and an enabling technology which extends across and impacts all industrial sectors, from healthcare to security, from manufacturing to telecommunications, from energy to the environment and from aerospace to biotechnology.
Photonex is the exhibition for photonics in the UK, it is an annual event and has been running for 18 years.
Photonics [application and measurement of light] is now key to the advancement of LABORATORY core research and development.
The latest optical techniques are extensively interdisciplinary and applied within life sciences, biotechnology, enviromental monitoring, energy resource development, agricultural and food analysis, and many other core LABORATORY, and FIELD sciences.
Visiting PHOTONEX will provide you with a dynamic interface with the most recent advances. Techniques are yielding; ultra micro and selective novel optical sensors, multianalyte fast array analysis, fast kinetic and polarisation spectroscopy, novel nano materials, new solid state inorganic and organic light sources, Thin Film coating synthesis - just a few of the many activities being applied. |
