Includes Laser Physics, Mediphotonics and Quantum Optics and the Photonics Laboratory. Laser spectroscopic techniques have been pioneered at City College and are being used to study dynamical properties of a variety of physical and biological systems. Several laboratories cited in the research sections above make extensive use of laser-scattering and laser-based diagnostic techniques.
Beyond this, City College has a comprehensive research program in quantum optics and applied quantum phenomenology.
