Summary
Photonics – the transmission and processing of information using light – has changed our lives since the first low loss optical fibres were made in the early seventies. This technology underpins the internet and increasingly is being used in sensing applications – in bridges, along gas pipelines and inside the body. The Light and Sound show will showcase aspects of photonics including an optical guitar pickup, smart floor and a fibre communications.
