We celebrate the International Day of Photonics on October 21, because on this day in 1983, the General Conference on Weights and Measures officially defined the speed of light as 299,792,458 meters per second – a milestone that continues to shape science and technology.
Today, photonics is everywhere — from communication and sensing, to quantum technologies, medical innovation, lasers and environmental monitoring. At IDIL by Fiber Optics Group, we’re proud to collaborate with researchers and engineers on innovating projects that design tomorrow’s photonics technologies.
