Optics and Photonics Society of Singapore Launches

The Optics and Photonics Society of Singapore (OPSS), with roots in the former Singapore Chapter of SPIE, has been launched, according to organizers.

OPSS intends to promote greater interaction between the optics and photonics community in Singapore. Plans include the launch of a quarterly magazine, organizing and participating in local and regional conferences, and offering an educational outreach program for both students and professionals.

The new society retains strong ties to SPIE. Many of the OPSS founders were active in the former SPIE Singapore regional chapter, and several are members of SPIE.
