Photonics<\/h1>
\n

Photonics is the science that focuses on the interaction between light and matter. Photonics also focuses on technologies that enable precise control of that interaction (emission, detection, collection, transmission, amplification, analysis, etc.).\nAlthough somewhat unknown to the general public, photonics applications are found at all levels of modern society, from daily-routine applications to the most advanced industrial and scientific techniques.\n<\/br>\n<\/br>\nTechnology of the XXI century.<\/p>\n Contact our experts<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n

Light on a technology of the future<\/h2>\n
\n

Electronics is based on the control of electrons. These infinitesimal elementary particles are found in every atom of our bodies and in every atom throughout the universe. In the same manner, photonics seeks to control and use the properties of photons,<\/strong> these \u201celementary particles of light\u201d, whose existence and certain physical properties were discovered by Albert Einstein at the beginning of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The discipline that studies the propagation of light in different environments (air, glass, vacuum, etc.) is called optics.<\/strong> For centuries, the discipline of optics has made it possible to create devices that have changed the way humanity perceives the world around it, both in the domain of the infinitely large (telescopes, astronomic refractor telescopes) and the infinitely small (magnifying glasses, microscopes), not to mention the human scale (glasses or camera lenses).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Photonics goes even further; it is interested in the mechanisms that preside over creation, namely the propagation and detection of light at the most elementary level.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This fundamental research gave rise to revolutionary technologies<\/strong> that we use today without even thinking about them.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
