Joint Meeting of the Optical Society of Southern California (OSSC) and the UC Irvine Student Chapter of the Optical Society of America (OSA)
FOTOISC (pronounced photo-isc) has formed to provide both an informal and formal path for people interested in helping out and having fun. http://oisc.net/Friends.htm The FOTOISC would like to invite you to attend a Joint Meeting of the Optical Society of Southern California (OSSC) and the UC Irvine Student Chapter of the Optical Society of America (OSA) on Wed. Nov. 8 from 6 pm to 10 pm. This meeting will include overviews of a number of ongoing interdisciplinary laser based spectroscopy programs followed by tours of the laboratories with presentations in each. More details of this meeting can be found on-line at www.OSSC.org. The OISC is proud to announce a new informal relationship with the Beall Center for Art and Technology at UC Irvine's Claire Trevor School of the Arts. Open to the public (admission is free), the Beall Center supports research and exhibitions that explore new relationships between the arts, sciences and engineering. Currently, they are exhibiting, " Quantizing Effects: The Liminal Art of Jim Campbell" that uses digital lighting effects to express waves and wave motion, resolutions, focus and other related visual and optical phenomenon. A fine time to visit this exhibit would be before the OSSC / UCI OSA meeting. Also, OISC Director, Donn Silberman, will be doing Optricks presentations as part of the exhibit's Family Day on the last day of the exhibit on Sun. Dec. 3 from 11 am to 3 pm. Our first Fundamental Optics and Introductory to Fiber Optics Classes are now more than half way complete at the CACT facility and we are planning some new classes starting in Jan. 2007.
