  1. www.day-of-photonics.orgPhotonic technologies are very important and everywhere!

  2. Photon originatesfrom the greeklanguage, phōt = light • Lasers • Lenses • Mirrors • Optics • Fibers Photonicsinvolves the creation, use, and modification of light.

  3. Someexamples of applications …

  4. Communication • Display and miniature projectors (GPS, television, cinema), cameras • Telecommunication (internet) opticalfibercommunications • Didyou know: Light travels 10 times the speed that electricity does, internet data transmitted photonically can travel long distances in a fraction of the time.

  5. Entertainment • Light shows in parties and monuments decorativelighting • Consumer electronics, displays in smart phone, CD and DVD • Didyou know: Thin and flexible displays couldbeincorporatedintoyour magazine!

  6. Energy • Photovoltaicsolar panels transform light intoelectricity and provides power in remote areas • Fibers are used for sensing in the oil & gasindustry • Energy efficient lighting (LED) • Didyou know: You can shoot a laser beam to a solarcell on a flying drone to recharge it!

  7. Transport (cars, trains, planes) • Manufacturing includes laser systems used in welding, cutting, marking • Sensors, heads-up display, lighting • Didyouknow: Laser head-light on a car canreach as far as 600 meters!

  8. Health • Analysis of bacteriaand life-science applications • Imaging of canceroustumourcells • Laser eye surgery, tattoo removal, endoscopy, health monitoring • Didyou know: Sensorscananalyzesugarlevels in the bloodthrough the skin!

  9. Manufacturing • Lasers cancut, weld, and mark manymaterialssuch as plastic, textile, metal • 3D printing involves lasers • Cameras are used for machine vision inspection • Didyou know: A high-power laser is capable of cuttingthrough8 centimeters of steel!

  10. Security, defense, rescue • Night vision devices, mine laying and detection, photonic gyroscopes, chemical detection • Textiles with displays for firemen and carpets in hotels in case of fire • Didyou know: It is possible to identify at a distance if a driver has been drinkingalcohol !

  11. Agriculture • Soilanalysis, cropanalysis • In-doorfarming, controlingvegetable speed growth and influence raspberrytaste with light • Didyou know: Drones mountedwith a camera can analyse the soil for precision agriculture!

  12. Arts • Laser imaging techniques are used for the detection of forgeries • LED technology reduces UV and IR, is more energy efficient, and improves colour rendering • Didyou know:  The Sistine Chapel uses latest LED illumination systems developed for art.
