Data transmission, storage and networks
In this field, photonics is used to transform and transfer digital content. First, the contents are converted to a format that can be compressed and transferred at high speed through the use of data communication... más >
Scanning, sensing and imaging
Optical sensors and image capture systems have numerous areas of application, usually to measure environmental data and turn them into signals that can be read by observers or other instruments. Examples range from small sensors... más >
Laser systems
The laser systems field is varied due to the large number of lasers with different characteristics and applications. Currently, storage and optical communications use approximately 50% of lasers in the world. The second area of... más >
Advanced lighting
This part of photonics is focused on the revolution that we are witnessing in the lighting field moving from a light bulb discovered in the nineteenth century to the solid-state lighting (Solid State Lighting), ie, LEDs.... más >
Screens and displays
This field is concerned with the production of screens and displays. In the last two decades, especially since the advent of flat screens, has seen a revolution in the number of screen-based with whom we... más >
Photonic energy systems
The most immediate impact of photonics technology in power is the development of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells. Photovoltaic cells, that join to form photovoltaic panels, convert sunlight into electricity, helping to leverage the major source... más >
Quantum Technologies
Quantum theory has radically changed our understanding of how light and matter interact at extremely small scales. It has been observed that, in a material with nanometric dimensions, known as quantum dot, appear quantum effects... más >
