इस हफ़्ते एक टेक्निकल पुलियाबाज़ी एप्लाइड फोटोनिकस पर। रोशनी का तकनीकी इस्तेमाल कहाँ कहाँ होता है, इस क्षेत्र में आगे क्या हो रहा है से लेकर भारत में STEM क्षेत्र में संशोधन को बढ़ावा देने के लिए और क्या कीया जाए, इन सब विषय पर चर्चा वैज्ञानिक सोनाली दासगुप्ता के साथ। सुनिए और आपके विचार भी हमारे साथ शेयर कीजिये। 

This week, we have a technical Puliyabaazi on the topic of Applied Photonics with our guest, Dr. Sonali Dasgupta who is a career research scientist and a STEM Education expert. We discuss what’s new and upcoming in the field of photonics, the state of the research ecosystem in India and how to create more opportunities in fundamental research in India. We learnt a lot of new things from this conversation and we hope that you will also find it enriching. Do listen in and share your thoughts with us. 

P.S: A slight correction from Sonali on solid state LiDARs - ‘In the LiDAR  world, solid-state LiDAR are referred to as the ones that do not have any moving parts. So, in a way, they can be called photonics-chip technology, though not silicon-photonics per se.’
