In this paper, the authors explore the field of astrophotonics and its potential use in the study of exoplanets. While a vast number of exoplanets have been detected, very few have been fully characterized, leaving significant knowledge gaps in our understanding of planetary formation and diversity. Astrophotonics, which applies photonic technologies to observational astronomy, offers a promising solution. The authors discuss various astrophotonic technologies that could contribute to the detection and characterization of exoplanets, with a focus on the search for extraterrestrial life. This research highlights the need for new and innovative technical solutions in the study of exoplanets. (100 words)
