Photonics is a multidisciplinary
area that encompasses laser research and electronics. It is one
of the fastest growing technologies in the United States and
throughout the world. The Center for Laser and Photonics Research
has, in the nine years since its inception, established a national
and international reputation based on its leadership in lasers
and semiconductors relating to photonics, basic science, industry,
medicine, and other high-tech arenas. The multidisciplinary research
conducted by CLPR faculty spans broad areas including engineering,
agriculture, the medical community and health industries, as
well as basic science. The technology developed has practical
applications in telecommunications, computers, TV and video displays,
medical diagnostics and treatment, compact discs, oil drilling,
agriculture, environmental science, automobiles, food processing,
and underwater communications.
The CLPR is unique at OSU as it is the only "University
Center" where multidisciplinary faculty and laboratory facilities
are physically drawn together to advance academic excellence,
high-tech research, and economic development.
The CLPR's Mission is:
To provide leadership in establishing a critical new high-technology
base that will enhance the competitiveness of Oklahoma and OSU,
thereby helping the University achieve its mission of teaching,
research, and extension.
The CLPR's Goals are:
1) To expand current laser and photonics research in Oklahoma
into a world-class,multidisciplinary center for excellence dedicated
to the advancement of science and technology related to laser,
photonics materials and devices, and their applications;
2) to provide a focal point of laser and photonics technology
expertise for the support of high technology industries and research
laboratories in Oklahoma;
3) to attract top quality scientists, engineers, and health professionals
to Oklahoma and recruit outstanding students to the state to
provide them with state-of-the art education in laser and photonics
science and technology.

Preparing for the 21st
Century
A good climate for high-technology
research and development activities already exists on the Oklahoma
State University campus. OSU and the Center for Laser and Photonics
Research will continue to play even more productive roles in
the academic, technical, and economic growth on the state, national,
and international levels. Oklahoma State University is leading
the way into the 21st century through the advanced research and
development in the OSU Center for Laser and Photonics Research.
The Center is dedicated to expanding Oklahoma's research impact
in these critical high-technology arenas and anticipates playing
a predominant role in "Bringing Dreams to Life"
through its commitment to academic excellence, to the advancement
of high-tech research, and to Oklahoma's economic development.
