The Age of Light: From an Electronic to a Photonic Society
summary
Argues that photonics already delivers concrete advances: lasers steer a particle of light to form visible 3D voxels, optical interconnects cut energy use by orders of magnitude, and nanophotonics plus 2D materials make flat, low-power AR displays plausible in under five years. Shows retinal implants restoring vision and Stanford optical imaging that can map and even alter mouse behavior, cites emerging optical neuro-networks startups and design automation tools that speed photonic device optimization.
