Advanced Photonic Technology in Instrumentation and Measurement: IEEE IMS TC-42 in Action

Photonics plays a critical role in the modern information society and human's daily life. Photonic technology is increasingly used in instrumentation and measurement for applications in oil and gas industry, electric power system, space missions, transportation, civil structure, military and defense, ocean exploration, biomedical detection, environmental monitoring and other areas. The field is related to many of the fastest evolving engineering professions in a challenging time but with increasing opportunities. With the rapid development of Internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), 5G communication, and other emerging technology, the demand for photonic technology has been explosively increased in recent years.
