Summary:

This text provides leading research on photonics which is the science of generating, controlling, and detecting photons, particularly in the visible and near infra-red spectrum, but also extending to the ultraviolet, long-wave infrared, and far-infrared/THz portion of the spectrum where quantum cascade lasers are being developed.
