Light-based technology

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? 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.

Here, we will explain a “technology of light”.
We human beings have gained safer and more convenient lifestyles by making use of the properties of light. Here,
we will introduce the present and the future of technology of light,
ranging from the technologies of light around us to the latest researches.
