Photonics, from photon, is both the branch of science and the field of economic activity that covers all phenomena and technologies associated with the emission, transmission, manipulation, detection, and use of light.
Photonics is therefore by nature an enabling technology with high potential.
Present in all current technological advances, photonics is transforming uses and our way of life:
- ENERGY
- HEALTH
- ENVIRONMENT
- QUANTUM
- TRANSPORT
- ARTS AND CULTURE
- TELECOMMUNICATIONS
- DEFENSE
- INSTRUMENTATION
- LASER
Photonics is inherently hybridized with a wide spectrum of sciences and technologies: biology, medicine, digital, cognitive, signal processing, nanosciences, aeronautics, architecture, civil engineering...
The possibilities for innovation it offers are endless.
