The science of light's behavior, acting neither as a particle nor a wave

A photonic mast that housed a infrared digital camera atop its telescoping arm - Image by Naval Sea Systems Command

Microwave photonics - the generation, transmission and manipulation of microwaves
Photochromism - the reversible transformation of a chemical species between two forms by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation
Photoluminescence - or PL, a process in which a substance absorbs photons and then re-radiates photons
Photothermal effects - the production of thermal energy produced by the photoexcitation of materials
Radiative recombination - the process by which an ion binds an electron to produce a new state with subsequent radiation of photons
Spontaneous emission - the process by which a light source undergoes a transition to a state with a lower energy and emits a photon
