EU Photonics, Nano Map Drawn

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GRENOBLE, France, Feb. 7, 2008 -- The consortium MONA (Merging Optics and Nanotechnologies) has published a European Roadmap for Photonics and Nanotechnologies, which provides insight into the future of materials, equipment, processes and applications. The MONA project was launched in 2005 by the European Commission in order to bridge the gap between photonics and nanotechnologies, according to its Web site. Almost 300 people from industry and academia were involved in the construction of the roadmap, the outcome of a two-year project. Project leaders included: CEA Leti (Electronics and Information Technology Laboratory...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
