Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Aug. 4, 2023 — SPIE has added 89 new senior members from academia, industry, and government, from across 17 countries. The members work in a variety of disciplines, including nanophotonics, quantum optics, biomedical engineering, free space optical communications, optical microscopy, optical systems engineering, medical imaging, lidar, machine learning, optoelectronic devices, micro-structured optical fiber technology, astronomical optics, and lithography.

SPIE senior members are society members of distinction who are recognized for their professional experience and technical accomplishments, for their active involvement with the optics community and with SPIE, and for significant performance that sets them apart from their peers.

GLOSSARY
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
nanophotonics
The study of how light interacts with nanoscale objects and the technology of applying photons to the manipulation or sensing of nanoscale structures.
quantum optics
The area of optics in which quantum theory is used to describe light in discrete units or "quanta" of energy known as photons. First observed by Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect, this particle description of light is the foundation for describing the transfer of energy (i.e. absorption and emission) in light matter interaction.
lidar
An acronym of light detection and ranging, describing systems that use a light beam in place of conventional microwave beams for atmospheric monitoring, tracking and detection functions. Ladar, an acronym of laser detection and ranging, uses laser light for detection of speed, altitude, direction and range; it is often called laser radar.
