Apparently, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photonics has the same idea:
"The science of photonics includes the emission, transmission,
amplification, detection, modulation, and switching of light. Photonic
devices include optoelectronic devices such as lasers and
photodetectors, as well as optical fiber, photonic crystals, planar
waveguides and other passive optical elements."
Cheers!
