Applied Optics
Welcome to the Applied Optics website. The Applied Optics Group was formed in October 2002 with the support of Science Foundation Ireland. We are part of the School of Physics, and together with the National Centre for Laser Applications we form lightHOUSE: The Centre for Applied Photonics. We currently number 25 researchers.
Our research programme covers a wide variety of topics in applied optics and imaging science, including smart optics, adaptive optics, optical scattering and propagation, and engineering optics. Details can be found in the research and publications pages.
We welcome collaboration with industry, in particular on PhD student research. We offer short courses to industry through lightFORUM.
We have an active primary and secondary school outreach programme.
