Photonics community leaders including SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, are energized today by the announcement from the U.S. Department of Defense of finalists selected to submit full proposals to secure the Integrated Photonics Institute for Manufacturing Innovation (IP-IMI).
Proposals selected were from multi-state consortia led by groups in Florida, New York, and California. All stress the potential the IP-IMI represents for new, high-value jobs and regional economic lift as well as enhanced strength in the nation’s ability to remain a global science and technology leader and to provide the benefit of technological advances to its people.
