Introduction
National Institute for Laser and Optronics (NILOP) was established in 2007 as a state funded Center of Excellence to provide facilities in research, education, and technology in the progressively important areas of lasers and their applications. NILOP is located at about 20km (from Zero Point, Islamabad) in the suburbs of the city of Islamabad surrounded by panoramic views of Margalla Hills.
NILOP owns a broad spectrum of theoretical and experimental research facilities and expertise making it one of the most integrated institutes in the country having qualified human resource consisting of 80 faculty, scientists, engineers along with 120 technical support staff members. NILOP provides a platform which is a blend of basic R&D and applied sciences, post-graduate teaching/training and product development for industrial support in the main areas of lasers development, laser spectroscopy, material sciences and bio-photonics etc. NILOP has been awarded the status of a constituent college of PIEAS for its PhD program in Lasers and Semiconductor Physics.
The associated objectives of the institute are achieved by publishing outcomes of the performed R&D work in prestigious international journals. NILOP as an institute has been able to establish excellent national as well as international collaborations and linkages. Every year interns from the universities and R&D organizations are trained in the areas of lasers, optoelectronics and materials science engineering. NILOP has indigenously developed laser based Agro Land Leveler system whose 1200 units have been provided to the provincial governments of the Punjab and Sindh. Additionally, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is another area where laser based systems have been indigenously designed and developed for the treatment of skin cancer.
