Photonics
Photonics is now widely recognized as a major innovation enabling discipline for the 21st century. It can be defined as that field of science and technology where the fundamental properties of light and its interaction with matter are studied and applied. Since several decades photonics has been penetrating in ever more applications and household appliances, starting with the use of the first commercial laser diodes in CD players. At present, photonics is a discipline of key importance in industrial sectors such as the tele- and data communication, the display and printing industry, the biotechnology industry, the energy sector, the medical instrumentation sector, etc..
