At the turn of the 20th century, when electric light superseded chemically fueled lamps, new uses of light began to emerge. They regarded information processing and transmission rather than power and within a few decades resulted in the technological domain of photonics. These applications consisted of photocells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, fiber optics, and holography. In that same span of years, progressing from the achievements of Maxell and Hertz, science advanced into new… CONTINUE READING
