Publisher Description: Advanced optics and photonics are enabling technologies for applications in communications, computing, manufacturing, healthcare, energy, defense, and numerous other areas. Progress in the field of optics and photonics has the potential to generate new knowledge, promote economic growth, create new industries and new high-skilled jobs, and provide technologies for new applications.The FTAC-OP developed a prioritized list of seven recommendations, which are organized into categories of research opportunities and research-related capabilities. The research opportunities address: (1) biophotonics to advance understanding of systems biology and disease progression; (2) faint to single photonics; (3) imaging through complex media; and (4) ultra-low-power optoelectronics. The research-related capabilities, which will encourage innovation in optics and photonics research, are: (1) accessible fabrication facilities; (2) exotic photonics; and (3) domestic sources for critical photonic materials. |
