About Us​

The CREOL Astrophotonics research effort arose from several groups of CREOL researchers and now comprises >30 scientists and research students at the University of Central Florida.

We bring together a broad range of expertise in photonic lanterns, fiber optic and microdevices, optical/infrared imagers and spectrographs for astronomy, laser frequency combs, hyperspectral imaging, and other areas to carry out our research in an exciting, fast-paced environment.

Our Mission

… is so provide powerful and novel solutions to problems in Astrophysics, Biomedical Imaging, Remote Sensing, Space Domain Awareness, and Telecommunications by combining our unique expertise in modern photonics technology and astronomical instrumentation techniques.
