UAH
Center for Applied Optics
The Center for Applied Optics (CAO), established in 1985, is
a research center located at the University of Alabama in Huntsville
(UAH). The CAO has as its primary goal the advancement of applied
optics in the form of optics research and education. The CAO
also serves the needs of high-technology industries and government
organizations.
The
Alliance for Optical Technology
(AOT) was formed to advance the development and transfer of
technologies. This has been done in the interest of enhancing
the global competitiveness of the industrial members. The Center
of Applied Optics is one of the academic members of the AOT.

Looking for SPIE publications, employment, and industry news?
SPIE Web provides you all these. Also, the Salmon Library holds
most SPIE proceedings. To find them, and you have an SPIE proceeding
number, go to the library
catalog, click on Complex Search, then type "SPIE
xxxx" in the Series field, where xxxx is the number
of the proceeding. This will give you the library call number,
which you need to find the item.
Alabama A&M University, Huntsville (CAOS)
CAOS is part of the Department of Physics at Alabama A &
M University, located in Normal (Huntsville), Alabama. The goal
of CAOS is to do innovative, meaningful research in information
optics (the gathering, transmitting, manipulating, and storing
of information) and in optical complexity (self organization,
evolution, and chaos).
Laboratory for Integrated Computing and Optoelectronic Systems(LICOS)
Conducts research in the general areas of computer/communications
systems and components, including microelectronic/optoelectronic
system simulation, design, fabrication and testing.
