Etymology

The term 'photonic' derives from the word 'photon', which was coined in the early 20th century as a unit of light energy within the framework of quantum mechanics. The word 'photon' itself comes from the Greek word 'phลs', meaning 'light'. The modern application of the word 'photonic' is rooted in the development of fiber optics and laser technology in the late 20th century, which revolutionized how light is utilized in communication and various technological processes. The field of photonics has expanded since then, leading to advancements in areas such as imaging systems, sensing technologies, and quantum information science, illustrating the importance of light in modern science and technology.
