# Selected Photonic Assembly References

Canonical HTML: https://photonicassembly.com/references/

Selections favor peer-reviewed work that clarifies terminology, demonstrates an integration route or reveals a system-level constraint. Inclusion is not endorsement, and a research demonstration is not presented as a mature manufacturing standard.
