Photonics - General Science

[SteveSchiets]

I just going to post it here because I have no clue or very little understanding what 'dielectrics' mean. I thought that Lebby said something in an article of PIC international but can't find it. (edit:just found it)

In addition to incumbent PIC technologies such as InP and GaAs, we heard updates on Silicon Photonics (SiP), Polymer Photonics (PP), as well as a new category, Dielectric Photonics (DP).

I just saw something coming out from Dow Chemical and dielectrics packaging.

Can it be linked?
