Welcome to the Optical Technology Center (OpTeC)!  OpTeC was established in 1995 to promote education and research in the rapidly growing fields of optical science and engineering. The Center is located at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana.  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.   

OpTeC includes research groups from four university departments:
