The Florida Photonics
Center of Excellence (FPCE)
Nano-Photonics, Bio-Photonics ,Imaging and Display
Vision:
Establish Florida as the national leader in photonicsbased industries and industries enabled by
photonics.
Goals:
• Leverage state resources via partnerships with industry and
government
• Work in partnership with local, state and regional economic
development organizations to attract, retain and grow
knowledge-based, wealth producing industry to Florida.

EUVL Source Development
Martin Richardson
UCF/Powerlase university-industry collaboration.
Technology now being transferred to
LP PHOTONICS, a new SOCOMO company
High rep-rate > 30kHz
proprietary UCF droplet
Focused high power lasers
24 W EUV source power - 2 multiplexed 600 W lasers
27 W with new 1600 W laser – soon have ~ 60 W EUV
100% duty cycle, low debris, long-life operation
Highest 13.5 nm power of any laser-plasma EUV source!
UCF/LP-Photonics just awarded a $175,000 Phase III
grant from Florida’s new SURCAG program for new
companies….
Strategic Plan for College
taken from CREOL!
• Vision
– Be the nation’s leader in education, research, and
scholarship in optical science and engineering (OS&E)
• Mission
– Provide the highest quality graduate education in optical
science and engineering
– Enhance optics education at all levels
– Conduct fundamental and applied research upon which
future knowledge-based industries can be built
– Aid in the development of Florida and the nations’
technology-based industries
