OSA Fellows

Upcoming nomination deadline: 15 June 2013

OSA Members who have served with distinction in the advancement of optics may be proposed for election to the class of Fellow. The number of Fellows is limited by the Society's bylaws to be no more than 10% of the total OSA Membership. In addition to receiving member benefits and recognition of their Fellow status, OSA Fellow Members may also apply for travel grants to visit and lecture in developing countries.

Candidates for Fellow Membership are nominated by peers who are themselves OSA Fellows. The OSA Fellow Members Committee reviews each nomination and recommends candidates to the Board of Directors annually.

The OSA Board of Directors is proud to announce the 2013 class of OSA Fellow Members. 

The next deadline for nominations is 15 June 2013. More information is available from the OSA Awards Office (email awards@osa.org or telephone +1 202.416.1960).
