👉 Photonic is a term in physics that refers to a type of waveguide made from a material with high index of refraction, typically silicon dioxide. Photons are particles that carry information and energy on a quantum level, making them a key component in many technological applications such as microelectronics, lasers, and telecommunications. In the context of photonic materials, a photonic crystal is a type of optical waveguide made from a material with high index of refraction. The term "photonic"
