Prestigious Fellow Rank Earned by 71 OSA Members

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11, 2013—The Optical Society (OSA) Board of Directors is pleased to announce that 71 OSA Members have been elected as the newest class of OSA Fellow Members. Individual OSA Members who have significantly contributed to the advancement of optics and photonics are eligible for election to the rank of fellow and will be recognized individually at meetings throughout 2014. A listing of all 71 new fellow members appears below.

OSA Fellows are selected based on their overall impact on optics, as gauged through factors such as specific scientific, engineering, and technological contributions, a record of significant publications or patents related to optics, technical leadership in the field, and service to OSA and the global optics community. Drawing from nominations from current fellows, the OSA Fellow Members Committee recommends candidates to the OSA Board of Directors. This process is highly competitive, as no more than 10 percent of the OSA Membership may be Fellows. More than 40 percent of this year’s fellow members reside outside of the United States.

“The distinction of OSA Fellow signifies members who are at the top of the optics and photonics profession,” said OSA President Donna Strickland. “On behalf of OSA, I am pleased to acknowledge their outstanding contributions and honor my OSA colleagues with this well-deserved distinction.”
