2014-03-26 - National Photonics Initiative
It's a great experience serving as an active member for advocating photonics on the congressional visit day. As a research scientist in the area of photonics, I am glad to educate the public how important photonics is to our modern lives. The National Photonics Initiative (NPI) has been created to unite experts in industry, academia and government to identify and advance areas of photonics.
Photonics are the science and application of light. It is such an enabling technology and you almost cannot live without it. Look around you - your Iphone, computer, TV, internet - all modern technologies are made possible largely by photonics.
