Howard Stark understood that light is both particle and wave — and that if you could alter the behavior of those waves, you could reshape reality itself. The Photonic Amplifier does exactly that: it manipulates the fundamental behavior of light at the wave level, enabling applications from advanced communications to directed-energy weaponry to optical concealment systems.
