Compared to electronic materials, photonic materials enable the transport and processing of information at the speed of light.

In the communication age of the 21st century, a major technological thrust is to move forward with photonic and optoelectronic technologies as a replacement to the traditional electronic technologies currently utilized to perform various functions such as acquisition, processing, transmission, storage, and display of information.

The present boom in fiber optics technology is an excellent example of how much impact photonics technologies have on the advancement of our society.

These materials have already been used and will be the most important components of the next generation of semiconductor devices, the internet, computers, information technology, wireless and telecommunications,

satellite communications, integrated circuits, photocopiers, wireless telephones, solar cells, batteries, light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal displays, magnetooptic memories, audio and video systems, recordable compact discs, video cameras, coatings.
