4 unusual facts about photonics


Bride of Chaotica!

While the command staff of Voyager seek to discover a way to free the ship from the spatial distortions, extra-dimensional aliens who exist in a photonic state cross over from their own dimension through a distortion located in the holodeck.

Carleton School of Information Technology

CSIT, together with Algonquin College, offers a Bachelor of Information Technology undergraduate program with three streams of study: Interactive Multimedia & Design, Network Technology, and Photonics & Laser Technology.

Photovoltaic engineering in Australia

It is widely recognised for its research in the area of photovoltaics, most of which is now conducted under the ARC Centre of Excellence for Advanced Silicon Photovoltaics and Photonics.

Sea mouse

Normally, these have a red sheen, warning off predators, but when the light shines on them perpendicularly, they flush green and blue, a "remarkable example of photonic engineering by a living organism".


Christopher Dainty

He is the 1984 recipient of the International Commission of Optics Prize, the 1993 Thomas Young Medal and Prize (IoP), the 2003 C E K Mees Medal and Prize (OSA) and the Optics and Photonics Division Prize 2004 (IoP).
