Photonics, light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation and electronics, is a multi-trillion-dollar industry, used in a huge number of applications of our daily life in areas as diverse as communications, defense, manufacturing, entertainment, consumer equipment, aviation, agriculture, life sciences, and medicine.
