Information Acquisition, Processing and Display

Explore the technical groups of the Information Acquisition, Processing and Display Technical Division, which encompasses the development and use of numerous techniques to acquire and process data.

Get Involved

The Information Acquisition, Processing and Display Technical Division is a community of information scientists interested in applications of photonics in digital systems, systems engineers interested in interfaces between analog and digital systems and physical scientists interested in the representation of data in physical form. The division encompasses fundamental information science, analog and digital interfaces, digital analysis of optical data, physical information processing and the physical limits of information. Explore the six technical groups within this division, each of which offers their members access to innovative events, focused networking opportunities and engaging webinars.

 

Technical Groups
Applied Spectroscopy (IS)

This group emphasizes the application of optical spectroscopy to detection and sensing problems in environmental, atmospheric, combustion, defense, and biomedical fields. Examples include VNIR sensing and processing for food characterization, optical techniques for forensics, and chemical analysis.
