The Photonics Research Center in the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering conducts cutting-edge high energy laser and photonics research and provides experiential opportunities for cadets and faculty in the study of photonics (the physical science of light waves).
The results of the research will be used by the Army and the Department of Defense in developing directed energy systems, not only developing technical solutions to Army problems but educating officers with knowledge of laser technologies and capabilities for the defense of the nation.
