Welcome
Welcome to CREOL, The College of
Optics and Photonics. "Optics and photonics" is
commonly defined as the technology and field of
science & engineering dealing with the generation, transmission,
manipulation, detection, and utilization of radiant energy (light) whose
quantum unit is the photon. The vision of the College is to be the
world's leader in education, research, scholarship, and partnership in
optics and photonics. Learn more about us and how we are realizing this
vision by exploring this website, and even better, visiting us to see
our impressive 104,000 ft2 facilities, explore potential collaborative
partnerships, or join our graduate program.
UCF Secures $7.5 Million Research Grant to Improve Hybrid Photovoltaic Solar Cells
The University of Central Florida has been awarded a $7.5 million research grant to study ways to make photovoltaic solar
cells more efficient in capturing and converting solar energy into electricity, and less costly to manufacture.
The research can lead to ways to produce highly flexible solar panels, which could be manufactured in larger quantities and used to support
a variety of solar products, spanning from solar roof shingles to portable energy.
