Abstract: Over the course of evolutionary history, environmental pressures have motivated the development of a diverse set of optical mechanisms found across a wide spectrum of organisms. Finely tuned, organically derived, and necessarily efficient, these natural solutions serve as bio-inspired…
On April 5, UCF’s College of Optics and Photonics, better known as CREOL, will open its doors to the public to demonstrate how the field of optics & photonics is making significant impact on our daily life, as well as…
Abstract: We discuss a revolutionary way to store data, using extremely high data rate laser communications in motion. This revolutionary concept builds on the high speed lasercom which is being developed today, but carries it two steps farther – much…
