Innovations in Photonics

In the field of photonics—the science of light generation, manipulation and detection—two companies are working on innovative technologies that hold promise for future uses. Ambient Photonics, in California, was inspired by photosynthesis to develop a solar cell that can generate power from low-level ambient light rather than direct sunlight. These indoor solar cells use a special dye to absorb light and create energy, making them more versatile and efficient than traditional solar panels. Because they are thin, flexible and can be applied to most surfaces, they could potentially replace batteries.

Swiss-based Slux has developed a faster, safer and more versatile way to communicate and send data using streetlights. It is essentially a high-speed internet connection that travels via the same light used in parking lots or around buildings. This new technology could have many other applications in wide-ranging fields, from ocean research to air travel.
