photonicadj.

Brit.

/fəʊˈtɒnɪk/, U.S.

/foʊˈtɑnɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: photon n.¹, -ic suffix.

Etymology: < photon n.¹ + -ic suffix. Compare French photonique (1929).

Physics and Electronics.

1929 Proc. Royal Soc. A. 125 350 The maximum possible effect due to the photonic magnetic moment could not exceed an effective splitting displacement.

1938 R. W. Lawson tr. G. von Hevesy & F. A. Paneth Man. Radioactivity (ed. 2) v. 61 In the production of recoil electrons only a fraction of the photonic energy is handed over to the recoil electron.

1958 C. C. Adams et al. Space Flight 348 The best we can do is to base our calculations on highly developed systems using atomic, ionic, or photonic particles.

1969 W. H. Auden City without Walls 97 His light is felt as a friendly presence not a photonic bombardment.

1995 Computer Weekly 30 Nov. 2/4 The photonic technology..uses laser beams sent through optical fibres to generate extremely high data transmission rates.

2002 Science 2 Aug. 761/1 A so-called photonic bandgap material impervious to terahertz waves could revolutionize imaging devices.

Compounds

photonic crystal n. Physics a dielectric material with a lattice-like or periodic microstructure that affects the way light is transmitted through it (analogous to the way that a semiconductor affects the properties of electrons).

ΚΠ

1989 Physical Rev. Lett. 63 1950/2 This has enabled us..to measure the phase and amplitude of the electromagnetic functions propagating through the ‘photonic crystal’.

1997 New Scientist 29 Nov. 43/1 The existence of these photonic band gaps has been confirmed in ‘photonic crystals’ made by drilling a regular web of tiny holes in blocks of insulating materials.
