The Center for Laser
Applications (CLA) at The University of Tennessee Space Institute was
established in 1984 as a state funded Center of Excellence to provide
outstanding capabilities in research, education, and technology transfer in the
increasingly important area of laser applications. CLA began as an active
multi-disciplined and collaborative research group at UTSI with expertise and
significant industrial and university-based experience in phenomena related to
the interactions of lasers with gases, liquids, and solids. The diverse
background of the faculty and staff and the strong mission-related research
programs of CLA provide a blend of applied and basic research that is
unusual for universities.
The goal of CLA has
been to establish a center for graduate education and research that is
recognized for its excellence in laser applications. Accomplishment of
this goal required selective additions to the UTSI/CLA faculty and staff,
recruitment of quality graduate students, and major revisions to the curriculum
in recognition of the educational and career opportunities associated with
lasers. The associated objectives that were established for CLA research
include significant additions to the capital equipment base, the creation if
industrial alliances, interaction with other university centers in the state,
technology transfer, diversification of the contract income base, and an
increase in sponsored research. ...read
