Photonic Computing

Photonic computing uses photons or light to perform computations instead of electrons as in traditional electronic computing. Photonic computing began emerging in the 1960s with the invention of the laser, and the term "photonics" came into common use in the 1980s. Light computers are expected to significantly outperform electronic computers due to light's faster speed, and photonic devices can be manufactured more cheaply from plastic and glass than electronic chips made from silicon. Various industries are exploring applications of photonic computing including telecommunications, medicine, manufacturing, and more.

"Photonic" comes from "photon" which is the smallest unit of light just as an electron is the smallest unit of electricity.
Well, electronic computing uses electrons to perform the logic that makes computing work.

Photonics as a field really began in 1960, with invention of the laser, and the laser diode followed in 1970s. Historically ,the term Photonics only came into common use among in 1980s.

Light computers will easily out-race any possible electronic computer.

Faster computers sell better than slow ones.

Light computers will be made of inexpensive plastic and glass that are easy to manufacture, whereas the sand from which electronic computer chips are made requires very expensive.

Photonic crystal devices are nearing mass commercialization by way of matured semiconductor manufacturing processes that allow fabrication of devices with 0.1-micron featuresone ten-millionth of a meter. Photonic crystals are materials exhibiting a periodic dielectric structure on a microscopic scale.

Differences between standard fibers and photonic crystal fibers

Standard fibers are solid fibers where the


guiding mechanism is provided by a region with higher

index (the core) than the surroundings (the cladding).


PCFs utilize a microstructure of silica and air to provide

the index difference

Photonic transistors not whittled out silicon. Instead they made out photographs.

The photonic transistor a project that is a very important piece of technology.

Photonic logic is the use of photons (light) in logic gates (AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR). Photonic logic refers to the usage of light (photons) to form logic gates. Switching is obtained using nonlinear optical effects when two or more signals are combined.

Photonic computing

NASA scientists are working to solve the need for computer speed using light itself to accelerate calculations and increase data bandwidth.

Photonics development is booming worldwide in optics and optical components for computing and other applications.

Information is carried on beams of light just as it is carried on a radio, television, or microwave signal. Through animated photonic computing

It is the platform for biophotonics. future national and international networks will be heterogeneous comprising optical and wireless approaches together with different switching technologies [eg packet and circuit switching].
