Trends to Watch in Photonics in 2024 | Jan 2024 | Photonics Spectra
WEBHe predicts the annual growth for the Chinese laser market in 2024 to be 10.2%, driving the sector’s revenue to $15.9 billion. Arnold Mayer from Optech Consulting is a seasoned analyst with decades of experience watching the …
Fiber Optics: Understanding the Basics - Photonics
WEBPrinciples Optical materials are characterized by their index of refraction, referred to as n. A material’s index of refraction is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the material. When a beam of light passes from one material to another with a different index of refraction, the beam is bent (or refracted) at the interface (Figure 2).

Photonics Reshapes the Future of Computing
WEBReal optical computers The benefits that photonics offers in processing speed and transmission rate are so obvious that scientists predicted the advent of optical computers in the 1980s. Researchers at Bell Labs unsuccessfully attempted to create an optical transistor at that time. The problem was, and is, that photons do not interact with each other.
Eight Predictions for the Photonics Industry in 2023
WEBThe next generation of satellite constellations will use laser terminals for free space communication. And that trend will create revenue of several hundred million dollars for photonic components from launch. Each of those satellites will need four such terminals, with a unit price in the six-digit region.
