  1. Photonics in Florida Optics and Photonics Research at CREOL Pieter Kik, Asst Professor in Optics CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics University of Central Florida Orlando, FL, USA CREOL professor CREOL student

  2. Outline • CREOL, brief history • Students and faculty • Research at CREOL, selected topics • Nanophotonics and Near-field Optics (Kik group)

  3. Visit our website for more information • ….

  4. UCF - campus Library • Nature Lounge pool?! Sports facilities

  5. UCF – We have outgrown Google Maps • Founded in 1968 • > 50,000 students! • > 1200 faculty • > 180,000 degrees awarded CREOL: always evolving

  6. CREOL - timeline • 1985 CREOL approved as a type II Center by BOR • 1986 Florida Legislature appropriates $1.5M • 1987 M.J. Soileau becomes First Director of CREOL • Location: double-wide trailer on CREOL bldg site • 1995 Move into new CREOL building • 1998 Provost announces the School of Optics • Degrees in Optics • 2004 Provost announces the College of Optics & Photonics • Dean: Eric W. van Stryland • 2008 New Dean: Bahaa Saleh

  7. CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics Built in 1995 83,000 sq. ft. 85 labs FULL!! http://www.creol.ucf.edu

  8. Fourteen years later: many changes!

  9. New (2008) CREOL extension – Incubator space and Townes Laser Institute (TLI)

  10. NanoPhotonics Systems Fabrication Facility Hired 5 new faculty; e.g. eminent scholar Dennis Deppe, UT Austin, inventor of near IR quantum dot laser. Enabling technology: high power, high efficiency lasers for e.g. medical diagnostics 3,000 sq ft clean room, Class 100/1000 Funded separately by matching $ now ~$10M of facilities resource center for univ & user facility for industry. Leica 5000 + e-beam lithography 1 of 3 in the country 10 nm resolution! Semiconductor Quantum dots Laser microcavity

  11. Funding – seems healthy! Total Funding Received by Year Funding in $Millions FPCE FPCE-TLI About 30% of funding via Industry related programs

  12. Affiliates program – 7 years of growth Enough about administration – how about the people?

  13. The people of CREOL (Creoleans?) CREOL is a youthful place! • 24 Optics Faculty • 11 Research and associate faculty • 160 Optics Students • 55 Research staff • 18 Administrative support We’re still growing ~ 6 new faculty in next 5 years

  14. CAOS: CREOL Association of Optics Students OPTICS DAY
