Welcome To the EOC

The Penn State Electro-Optics Center serves as a national resource to advance electro-optics and related technologies by partnering with government and commercial customers for the primary benefit of the U.S. warfighter.

Created in 1999 under a cooperative agreement with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and managed by Penn State University, The Penn State Electro-Optics Center (EOC) promotes the development of electro-optic materials, components, and systems needed to advance the state-of-the-art in electro-optic science and technology for our defense forces.

EOC-sponsored programs include research and development, manufacturing process development and improvement, and the active transfer of new and/or improved technology to its commercial partners. The EOC focuses its continuing efforts in the following:

• EO Materials Design and Process Technology
• Sensor Technology
• Fiber Optics, Photonics, and Engineering
• Laser Technology
• Education and Outreach
