RADC (Rome Air Development Center) Photonics Center Support

Abstract

Work under this contract lead to the establishment of the Air Force Photonics Center. Considerable progress was made towards achieving the national prominence originally envisioned for this Center of Excellence in photonics. If this progress is to continue, it is of extreme importance to maintain and build the programs which have a high visibility on a national scale. These are the programs which were designed to establish collaborative activities with industry and academia. Implementation of joint support of research with NSF and AFOSR are immediate actions which should be taken, along with finalization of a document covering the rules for collaborative research with industry. This report describes the initial activities of establishing the Photonics Center including selection of technical thrusts, staffing, and operational concepts. Keywords: Photonics; Optics.
