Montana State University – Optical Technology Center
The Optical Technology Center (OpTeC) at Montana State University was established in 1995 to promote education and research in the rapidly growing fields of optical science and engineering. The Optical Technology Center is a multidisciplinary center at MSU offering opportunities for students, faculty, industry, and other interested partners to learn and work together to find solutions to practical problems and to discover new applications for optical technology. OpTeC includes research groups from three university departments:
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Physics
- Chemistry and Biochemistry
The primary goal of the center is to maintain a nationally competitive optics program that promotes collaboration with local optical industry, leading to economic growth and improved student opportunities in Montana.
