Photon Communication

Tools and fundamentals for optical / photon-based communication, sensing, and frequency-driven systems.

Start with the fundamentals article: Photon Communication.

Photon / Frequency Calculator

Convert between frequency, wavelength, and photon energy (useful for photon communication and sensors).

Try: 2.4e9 (WiFi), 193e12 (telecom), 5e14 (visible)

Wavelength

How this ties into Quatrix: store frequency/wavelength as graph properties; link them to sensors (photodiodes, cameras), materials (band gaps, absorption), and comms protocols.

Roadmap: free-space optical link budgets, atmospheric attenuation models, and integration with weather/flight data.
