The first Optics Express Focus Issue on Astrophotonics was published in 2009. Since that time the field has experienced substantial growth and pathfinder astrophotonic systems are routinely being tested on large telescopes around the globe. This second Focus Issue on Astrophotonics is intended to capture some of these significant developments and convey a sense of future directions for the field.
