Abstract
We discuss the status of photonics technology and review its possible evolution by way of several representative examples of emerging research areas, which could have a significant impact over a long-term, say 10-year perspective. The selected areas are considered potentially capable of providing the quantum leap progress necessary to solve some of the shortcomings of current photonics technology.
