Electro-Optics Laboratory (EOL)

 EOL 
Electro-Optics Laboratory

Mission:

The Electro-Optics Lab was established in 1431 H (2010) with an aim to engage in design, manufacturing and testing infrared and electro-optical sensors, focal plane arrays and camera systems. The lab also aims to educate a new generation of engineers, in the above named technologies who will be the driving force for technological advancement and innovation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
