- Milton Chang is admired for his leadership in science, business, and nonprofit arenas. But the tremendous generosity that Dr. Chang and his wife Rosalind have extended to students and professional organizations such as the Optical Society of America is far less known.
- Because scientific applications of lasers often push the aser to its operational limits, continuous or periodic measurement of the beam profile is necessary to ensure that the laser is still operating as expected.
- The 2008 Optical Society of America activity-grant program has awarded grants to student chapters and local sections around the world.
- Terahertz imaging systems are well suited for industrial process control and monitoring to improve detection and identification of chemicals.
- Through a grant from the Optical Society of America Foundation, Ruby Raheem of the University of Edinburgh recently traveled to Ghana, Dubai, and India to give optics demonstrations to high school and college students.
- Sol-gel chemistry, combined with optical fiber, offers a novel approach to measuring dissolved oxygen and pH levels with many promising new applications.
- The OSA's www.opticsforkids.org Web site provides a wide selection of resources for precollege students and their teachers and parents.
- Optoelectronics technology is equipping cars with "active" safety features that work as hard as drivers to prevent accidents.
- Laser-diode controllers provide constant current to laser diodes, as well as solutions to system-design tasks.
- The OSA's Optical Phenomena Poster Series sparks discussion in classrooms around the globe.
