Jon McGuire from nLight Photonics Corporation talks to us about Laser Additive Manufacturing. Watch this video and learn about benefits of exhibiting at the LAM Workshop. For more information: www.lia.org/lam.
A new undergraduate degree program in Photonic Science and Engineering started in the fall of 2013 at the University of Central Florida. It is the State of Florida’s only such program, and one of only a few in the nation.
Photonics plays a huge role in the Florida’s economy, with over 270 photonics companies employing over 5,000 engineers and scientists. The formation of Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL), more than 26 years ago, and the foundation of the College of Optics and Photonics in 2004 has aided many of these companies. CREOL has helped filled the need for a highly trained workforce that require specialized skills in optics and photonics and this need continues to grow.

Laser induced sub-100 nm structures offer vast potential benefits in photonics, biotechnology, tribological surface design and plasmonic applications. However the dynamics of their generation is not well understood. Research in this field requires high temporal and spatial resolution. In this paper, we report on our efforts on setting upand building an EUV-pump-probe microscope. The goal is the observation of femtosecond laser induced nanostructure formation with a spatial resolution of less than 100nm and a temporal resolution of less than 1ns. Continue reading
