浙江大学现代光学仪器国家重点实验室于1989实验室建成；1995年通过国家验收国家计委和国家教委批准；1996正式运行，对外开放。实验室学术委员会由光学领域的15名知名专家组成，主席为庄松林院士，实验室主任为刘旭教授。实验室三个主要研究方向：微纳光子技术及器件；精密光学传感与检测仪器；先进光电子技术及器件。实验室现拥有单套价格30万以上实验设备近5700万。

State Key Laboratory of Modern Optical Instrumentation(MOI) was founded in 1989,and certified by State Education Commission and State Development Planning Commission in 1995.The laboratory was established on the basis of the Department of Optical Engineering at Zhejiang University, which is known as the “Cradle of Optical Engineering Education in China”. 

The research in MOI focuses on state-of-the-art technology in optical instrumentation, with emphases on micro or sub-microscale optoelectronic detection, optical-electric thin films and display technology, radiation and spectrum detection, lasers, photonic integration and nanophotonics.

Covering an area of 3000 square meters, the laboratory is equipped with advanced research facilities including femto-second laser, thin-film multilayer coater, wavefront interferometer, optical spectrometer, near-field scanning optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and focused ion beam system. Prof. Liu Xu is the director of the laboratory.
