DOD Center for Nanoscale Photonics
The Army Research Office awarded The City College of New York (CCNY) a grant of $4 million for five years to establish the Center for Nanoscale Photonics (DoD-CNP). The Center's Director and Principal Investigator is Professor Robert R. Alfano. The Center brings together two frontier technologies: Nanotechnology and Photonics of the 21st century. Nanotechnology introduces nanometer-scaled systems, such as single atoms, molecules, complexes, or artificial atoms (i.e. quantum dots) as basic structural components. It promises the ability to control system architecture and properties at the atomic scale. Photonics is the science and technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is photon. The mission of the DoD-CNP is to:
The Center focuses on the following four areas of cutting-edge research:
