OTHER PHOTONICS-RELATED PROGRAMS AT UMBC

UMBC professors and students in the Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, the Department of Physics, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, and other departments conduct research in various aspects of photonics. Their research has been sponsored by government and commercial organizations in the UMBC area. Goals cover a wide range, including basic foundations of physics, materials properties studies, advanced electro-optic device research and development, analytical and experimental applications in wide-band communications, networks, sensing and signal processing. Examples of research projects currently in progress that are being conducted outside of CASPR administration are listed below. They are divided into three categories: sensors and photonic devices, high-rate communications, and networks. Sponsoring agencies are also listed.
