  DARPA’s LUMOS to develop Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and photonics platforms for defence applications

  

  Photonics is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons (smallest unit of light) as the data carrier instead of electrons (smallest unit of electricity) used in electronic ICs. As light travels at very high speeds, photonics is widely used to transfer huge amounts of data at a very high speed. …
