| Photonics: The Revolution In Communications | ||||||||||||
| Photonics is the technology that underpins the information revolution, using light to transmit, store and sort information. The photonics industry worldwide is growing rapidly. In 2001, the industry can be equated with being like the first milliseconds after the big bang. By 2025 the global market for photonic components is expected to be $US780 billion. This growth is driven by demand for the large BANDWIDTH that is required for data transmission and Internet services, for example. This programme explores the exciting world of photonics - the physics, chemistry and engineering concepts which underpin the technologies deployed in photonics - and shows how photonics is revolutionising the way we communicate. | ||||||||||||
