The photonics industry is growing rapidly, spurred by the need for miniaturization and increased bandwidth in telecommunications. Various scientific disciplines are engaged in improving the propagation, transmission, reception, and manipulation of photons, hoping to tap into their superior information-carrying ability. This 196-page report covers current research in advanced photonic materials--ceramics, polymers, composites, and others--that promise to play a role in optical components, fiber optics, imaging, analytical instrumentation, electro-optics, and lasers.
