capabilities at the eoc

Electro-Optics is the science and technology concerned with the use of applied electrical fields to generate and detect light...in short, the generation, control, and detection of light!  It is very important today, as it has a pervasive impact on our daily lives.  It also plays a major role in every major high tech industry in the world. It is a multidisciplinary field of research that is contributing increasingly to the economic vitality and technological strength of the U.S. Electro-Optics research includes the development of lasers and laser applications in telecommunications, information processing, and material processing; materials and devices with improved or fundamentally new optical properties; optics design and fabrication; non-destructive optical measurements and sensing; scientific high definition imaging of the visible and infrared; image processing; two and three dimensional display technologies; and psychology and physiology of visual perception.

As a result, the EOC is actively developing technologies in the following multidisciplinary fields of research:
