Technical applications of optics

Photonics is a branch of optics that involves the application of generation, detection, and manipulation of light in form of photons through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing. Photonics is closely related to quantum electronics, where quantum electronics deals with the theoretical part of it while photonics deal with its engineering applications. Though covering all light's technical applications over the whole spectrum, most photonic applications are in the range of visible and near-infrared light. The term photonics developed as an outgrowth of the first practical semiconductor light emitters invented in the early 1960s and optical fibers developed in the 1970s.

Aperiodic optical phased array based on number theory
2023
The optical phased array has been developed to realize solid-state optical beam steering following the advent of silicon photonics. Thus far, its feasibility has lacked either steering quality or optical efficiency, and its optimal design still remains unknown. Herein, we propose a scalable and wavelength-independent phased array design methodology that achieves steering quality and optical efficiency. This novel design methodology is based on a special aperiodicity from number theory of a complete residue system …
