Welcome to Optical Systems and Technology Laboratory at the University of Victoria.

What do we do?

Build innovative optical systems
Advance optical device technologies
Bridge novel approaches to real applications

Who are we?

Newly formed at UVic, the OSTL is a well-equipped research laboratory under the direction of faculty members Dr. T. E. Darcie (Canada Research Chair) and Dr. R. Gordon. Dr. Darcie, a former AT&T Research Labs Director with over 20 years of industrial experience, is well recognized in both research and industry. Dr. R. Gordon, formerly from the Microelectronics Research Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, has performed research in engineering optics ranging from the fabrication of semiconductor lasers to ultra-fast optical investigations.

Support

The OSTL is supported by research grants from NSERC, CFI, BCKDF and the University of Victoria. A significant portion of the infrastructure has been provided by gifts and donations from AT&T Labs and JDS Uniphase.
