Learn about light ‐A wave but also a particle!? Wonders of light‐
Though light plays a vital role in forming our universe, there are a lot of things we still don’t know about it.At certain times it behaves like a wave, at certain times like a particle.
Let’s start learning the wonderful properties of light.
The basic nature of light
Light is a wonderful substance having many unique characteristics. Let’s come one step closer to the wonders of light through well-known basic properties.
State of light
History of research on light
Many researchers throughout the ages have taken up the challenge of finding out “What is Light?” The history of light research which is closely related with the growth of science and culture.
The wave-particle duality of photons
Let’s think about the true nature of light learned from experiments that confirm the duality of the photon having properties of “a wave and a particle”.
The Mysterious Behavior of Individual Photons
Let's look at the even more mysterious behavior of single photons, using the concept of polarized light.Using light ‐Current & future of technology of light (Photonics)‐
How do we make use of light?Let’s take a look at some points in “photonics” as technology of light as well as new applications of light found from the latest researches.
Making, measuring and manipulating light
What exactly is the photonics, a technology utilizing light? Let’s take a look along with the keywords MAKE, MEASURE and MANIPULATE.
New light
The latest researches revealed new properties and behaviors of light.Here we introduce you so-called “New light” that is gaining attentions.
Living with photonics ‐Photonics in our daily lives‐
Let’s take a look at roles of photonics indispensable to our modern life andseen everywhere from familiar products to the cutting-edge science.
Welcome to Photon Lab!
