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 in the Optics Cluster with the National Centre for Laser Applications, the Biophotonics Group and the Tissue Optics and Microcirculation Imaging Group. We currently number approximately 25 researchers and have over 60 past members of the group.
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, publications, and posters pages.
We welcome collaboration with industry, in particular on PhD student research. We offer short courses to industry.
We have an active primary and secondary school outreach programme.
