Fundamentals of Photonic Integrated Circuits
摘要
Photonics, the branch of science and technology focused on the generation, manipulation, and detection of light, has evolved into a pivotal field that underpins a wide range of modern applications. The ability to precisely control light enables innovations that span industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, computing, and sensing. For instance, photonics is the foundation of fiber-optic communication, which allows for the transmission of vast amounts of data over long distances with minimal loss. Similarly, in the realm of medical diagnostics, photonic technologies such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) provide non-invasive, high-resolution imaging of biological tissues.
