Answer: Photonics

Because I have no hope of describing it myself, Wiki describes photonics thusly: "The science of photonics includes the generation, emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and detection/sensing of light. The term photonics thereby emphasizes that photons are neither particles nor waves - they are different in that they have both particle and wave nature."
