NSF Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand

Transforming the way we interact with light

Optoelectronics, the study and application of electronic systems and devices that source, detect, and control light, is one of the foundational technologies of the information age: it spans displays, data transmission, sensors, and future quantum information systems.

The IMOD Mission: 

Transform conventional and quantum optoelectronics through the development of atomically-precise semiconductor materials and scalable manufacturing processes

Educate a diverse generation of scientists and engineers to lead the U.S. to technological prominence through convergent team-based collaboration across traditional disciplinary and organizational interfaces
