Optronics

Optronics, a fusion of optics and electronics, is the study and application of light-based systems to perform functions traditionally managed by electronic circuits. By leveraging photons instead of electrons, optronics enables faster data transfer, reduced heat generation, and higher energy efficiency in a range of devices and systems. This field encompasses technologies such as optical computing, fibre optics, laser systems and photodetectors - and serves as a cornerstone for advancements in communication, sensing and processing.
