fotongeneraatiot
Fotongeneraatiot refers to the generation of photons, the quanta of light. In Finnish science and technology contexts it describes processes and devices that produce light at the quantum level, including natural emission and engineered photon sources. The concept covers fundamental mechanisms as well as practical applications in communications, imaging, and quantum technologies.
Key mechanisms include spontaneous emission from excited atoms or quantum emitters and stimulated emission as used
Photon sources range from continuous-wave lasers and LEDs to single-photon sources and entangled-photon pair generators. Deterministic
Characterization focuses on brightness, spectral properties, coherence, and photon statistics. Common metrics include emission rate, quantum
Etymology and usage: The Finnish term combines foto and generaatiot. It is understood in photonics discussions
