Photonics & Optics Hardware, Test Equipment & Simulation
Manufacturers & Services

These products are for the building, testing, and simulation of photonics and/or optics systems and circuits.

"Photonics is the physical science of light (photon) generation, detection, and manipulation through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing. 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." - Wikipedia
