On January 21, 2003,
UMBC conducted a workshop entitled “Frontiers in Photonics
Research”. The workshop served several
purposes, simultaneously:
1) It constituted the mid-term report to
NASA/Goddard on status of the grant which
inaugurated CASPR
on June 1, 2002, illustrating the valuable
projects that had been initiated.
2) It was a presentation of UMBC’s cutting-edge
photonics research capabilities in Optical Communications,
Optical Remote Sensing, and Quantum Optics to
attendees from federal, state, local agencies,
and industry. A high level of regional technological
and economic potential was demonstrated, which
served to justify consideration of further investment
in UMBC photonics programs.
3) Outside experts generated discussion of
ideas for new photonics applications, as
well as the
potential for forming productive collaborative
research arrangements.
4) It promoted student interest and enthusiasm
for pursuing careers in photonics-related
disciplines
