The Optical Society OF America was organized in 1916 “to increase and diffuse the knowledge of optics in all its branches, pure and applied, to promote the mutual interests of investigators of optical problems, of designers, manufacturers and users of optical instruments and apparatus of all kinds and to encourage cooperation among them.” It aims to serve the interests of all who are engaged in any branch of optics from fundamental research to the manufacture of optical goods.
Membership
Regular Members: “Any person who has contributed materially to the advancement of optics is eligible for regular membership.”
Associate Members: “Any person who is interested in optics is eligible for associate membership.”
Corporate Members: “Any corporation desirous of encouraging the work of the Society is eligible for corporation membership ”
The Society cordially invites to membership all who are interested in any branch of optics, either in research, in instruction, in optical or illuminating engineering, in the manufacture and distribution of optical goods of all kinds or in physiological and medical optics.
Annual Dues
Regular members, $7.50; Associate members, $5.00; Corporate members, $50.00. These dues include subscription to the Society’s official journal, the Journal of the Optical Society of America.
Meetings
The Society holds two meetings per year: An annual meeting in the autumn and a midwinter meeting, usually with the American Physical Society.
All changes of address of members of the Optical Society of America should be communicated to the Secretary, Professor Arthur C. Hardy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
