Electrical and Computer Engineering Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering
ECE is home to internationally recognized leaders in lasers and photonics – a field that pushes the frontiers of light to enable technologies of the future, from lasers for advanced medical devices to fiber optics for global communications. Our department boasts one of the most powerful lasers in the world, known as ALEPH, developed at CSU.
ECE leads the RISE inertial fusion energy (IFE) hub – one of only three IFE hubs in the nation funded by the DOE.
Fusion, the process that powers the sun, could be the key to enabling a safe, clean, and reliable energy source. Inertial fusion energy is a promising approach to fusion energy that uses powerful lasers to heat a small target containing fusible material.
Colorado State University is part of LaserNetUS, a scientific ecosystem established by the U.S. Department of Energy to advance Intense Ultrafast Laser Science and applications.

As a a global leader in laser innovation, CSU is constructing one of the most powerful laser facilities in the country. The Advanced Technology Lasers for Applications and Science (ATLAS) facility will serve as a premier destination for cutting-edge research, collaboration, and education.
The University Distinguished Professor is a pioneer in optics and photonics.
CSU's Center for Advanced Lasers and Extreme Photonics has received $12.5 million to expand work on ALEPH, one of the world’s most powerful lasers.
The scientists are the first to capture high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object – a gas turbine blade – using a compact, laser-driven X-ray source.
