The Age of Smart Light: How Digital Photonics Unlocks a New Wave of Innovation

Digital Photonics is at the core of ams OSRAM’s strategy, describing the combination of pixelated light emitters and sensors with digital interfaces turning them into intelligent systems. Digital Photonics, as we understand it, is transforming the role of light – from pure illumination to an intelligent, versatile technology that connects, senses and interacts. By combining advanced pixelated emitters, optical sensors, and digital interfaces, light becomes the foundation of a new generation of smart, programmable systems. Driven by megatrends, such as AI, AR/VR or robotics, this transformation is opening entirely new possibilities – faster, more efficient and more intuitive. Compared to conventional electronics systems, which rely on the flow of electrons, photonics systems can be faster, more energy-efficient, more resistant to interference, and more precise. These are inherent advantages based on the physics of light. [News] The Age of Smart Light: How Digital Photonics Unlocks a New Wave of Innovation – LEDinside
