Mission
Laser-enabled optical sensor and spectroscopic technologies had a significant
impact all over the world on the major institutions
in health care, biomedicine, communications,
materials characterization and processing,
defense, aerospace, and national security, and this trend can only
be expected to accelerate in the future.
COSS is a
multi-institutional center consisting of researchers and
facilities from UAB, UA, and UAH.
The mission of the COSS is to
improve sensor techniques using recently developed
revolutionary laser and spectroscopic technologies
for detecting
of biological, chemical, environmental, and explosive
agents with high sensitivity.
