You know, I never really thought of lower wavelengths than light as being carried by photons, but I suppose it's all EM. Antennas are technically just really red light bulbs.
- gjstein 2y agoThis is true enough, though remember that material properties change dramatically when you start moving through wavelengths by orders of magnitude. Silicon is transparent in the mid-infrared, which is what makes silicon photonics possible [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_photonics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_photonics
