With phase change materials, true holographic display company Swave Photonics uses the world’s smallest pixel to steer light for chip-based Holographic eXtended Reality (HXR) technology, sculpting high-resolution images with full spatial colour.
According to the ‘Insights into the dynamic photonics market (2019–2022)’ published by Photonics21 in May 2024, the European photonics industry created approximately 35,000 jobs between 2019 and 2022, with an annual growth rate of 2.5%, higher than that of employment in European manufacturing as a whole.
Using near-infrared spectrometry and photometry, a visible camera (VIS) aboard the European Space Agency’s (ESA) 1.2m-diameter Euclid telescope has sent five new images back to Earth, revealing new physical properties of the Universe.
