Electro-Optics / Photonics

Electro-optics (or photonics) uses optical materials, light sources, lasers, other components, and electronics to create systems which operate by the light propagation and interaction with various tailored materials.

Practical applications for electro-optics:

  • Barcode Scanners, Laser Printers, DVD Players

  • Fiber-optic Systems for Streaming Video Content

  • Laser Eye Surgery

  • Night Vision

  • Sensors for Car Safety

  • Precise Measuring at Very High Speeds
