Your Topic:
The hidden world of Photonics, and how South Australian inventors are shaping tomorrow’s technologies.
We all know electronics. It is in our phones, our cars, and most everyday devices. But have you heard of photonics?
Photonics is the science and technology of light, and it is all around us. It is behind the optical fibres connecting the world that allow us to stream content from data centres across the globe, the barcode scanners at the supermarket, the high-res cameras in our phones, and the sensors helping self-driving cars perceive the world around them.
But Photonics isn’t just powering the technology we rely on today: it is actively shaping new technologies! So what are researchers, right here in South Australia, working on today that could change the way we live tomorrow?
Join science communicator Laurence Deziel as she explores the hidden world of photonics and the incredible technologies…
