IEEE Photonics Society Montreal
Photonics is the branch of physics that studies light. It covers the generation, transmission, and use of light. From ubiquitous and inexpensive global communications via fiber optics, to lasers for medical and other applications, to flat-screen displays, to photovoltaic devices for solar energy, to LEDs for energy-efficient illumination, there are myriad examples of the society’s impact on the world around us.
The IEEE Photonics Society forms the hub of a vibrant technical community of more than 100,000 professionals dedicated to transforming breakthroughs in quantum physics into the devices, systems, and products to revolutionize our daily lives. We provide our members with professional growth opportunities, publish journals, sponsor conferences and support local chapters and student activities around the world.
