Local Collaborations:
AdvR
AdvR develops optical waveguides in nonlinear materials for manipulation of laser light. These waveguides can be used for parametric frequency conversion, Bragg wavelength stabilization and tuning, phase control for coherent beam addition and beam combining/splitting applications.
ILX Lightwave
ILX Lightwave Corp. is a manufacturer of laser diode control and test instruments for R & D and production test. Products include laser diode parametric analysis and life-test/burn-in systems, fiber optic sources, power meters, laser diode controllers, laser diode current sources, TE controllers, mounts and accessories.
OpTeC
Established in 1995, the Optical Technology Center (OpTeC) promotes education and research in the rapidly growing fields of optical science and engineering. At OpTeC, multidisciplinary research teams work with industry and other research centers to find solutions to practical problems and discover new applications for optical technology.
Resonon
Resonon Inc. is devoted to the development of electro-optic instrumentation. Current efforts are devoted to hyperspectral imaging spectrometers and diode laser based trace gas sensing.
The Spectrum Lab
The three-fold mission of the Spectrum Lab is: to perform advanced research and development on MSU grown optical technologies, to establish university - corporate partnerships to effect the transfer of these technologies into Montana companies, and to train our students to perform team-oriented, goal-driven, time-critical research and development.
ZERT
The Zero Emission Research and Technology Center (ZERT) is a research collaborative focused on understanding the basic science of underground (geologic) carbon dioxide storage to mitigate greenhouse gasses from fossil fuel use and to develop technologies that can ensure the safety and reliability of that storage. ZERT is a partnership involving DOE laboratories (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, National Energy Technology Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory) as well as universities (Montana State University and West Virginia University).
