Welcome note by chair
Welcome to the Optics and Photonics Society of Singapore (OPSS). This is a spin-off from the original Singapore Chapter of SPIE which is no longer in existence. With Optics and Photonics making inroads into virtually all areas of science and engineering, this society will provide a forum for discussion and growth among the various multidisciplinary groups within academia, research institutes and industry.
To facilitate this a quarterly magazine , organisation and support of local and regional conferences, and workshops and seminars are planned. Local organisations in related areas such as precision engineering (SPETA), SPRING and other bodies will be encouraged to interact with us. In addition overseas and local optics societies such as SPIE, OSA and IEEE Photonics are already aware and keen to assist us. Finally student groups such as the SPIE Student Chapter, OSA Student Chapter and IEEE Photonics Chapter are encouraged to join as they are provided with free membership
The Optics and Photonics Society of Singapore welcomes you to join as a member with the membership fee set at a nominal $ 20/ year. We hope to have members participate actively and welcome new ideas and proposals to make the Optics and Photonics Society cohesive despite the dispersive and diffractive community.
OPSS's main focus area are:
- To promote optics and photonics and their applications in Singapore.
- To facilitate the exchange of information related to optics and photonics through meetings, exhibitions, conferences, publications and other ways.
- To publicize and disseminate information about optics and photonics and matters concerning the profession.
- To encourage the advantage of optics and photonics in education and training those interested in these fields.
