👉 Encoding light particles, often referred to as photons, involves translating electromagnetic radiation into a format that can be processed by a system or device. Photons are the fundamental particles of light, characterized by their energy and momentum. When encoding light particles, this process typically starts with converting the physical properties of light—such as wavelength, frequency, and intensity—into digital signals. This conversion is achieved through various techniques, including photodetectors that capture photons and convert them into electrical signals, or optical modulators that alter the properties of light based on a control signal. These signals are then processed by digital systems to represent data, images, or other information. The encoding process ensures that the original light information is accurately preserved and can be transmitted or stored efficiently, enabling applications in telecommunications, computing, and imaging technologies.
