In collaboration with FUSE, we created a new Fluorescence activity and taught the activity at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA). Students learn about the science of why things glow under UV lights and get to make a mini fluorescent lava lamp.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
We tested a newly updated LaserComm activity at the local science museum (MOXI). The new activity is easier to use and more engaging! It uses a Laser/LED, numerous light-guiding components, and some electronics to send music with light!
Read more about the new activity here. 

Shereen Hamdy, the Outreach Committee Chair, presented the PhoSoc Outreach activities at ETOP 2019 in Quebec City on May 24th!  Congrats Shereen!

Takako Hirokawa and Victoria Rosborough gave a talk at OFC!
Congratulations on being accepted for the talk!

The talk is titled “Value of Volunteering: Student Perspective”.
They spoke along with other women from IEEE Photonics Society and the Women Engineering Program at the Suzanne R. Nagel Lounge on Tuesday March 5th. 


Check out the speaker schedule on the OFC conference website!

A paper about our outreach events was accepted for an oral presentation at ETOP!
Congratulations to everyone who helped make our outreach a success!

"15th Conference on Education and Training in Optics and Photonics, ETOP 2019" have accepted your paper,
“Light-based educational outreach activities for pre-university students,” for Oral presentation.

    About Us

    We are the UCSB Photonics Society, a joint chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society (IPS)​, Optica (formally OSA), and of SPIE. We host periodic guest seminars in recent photonics research, hold photonics-themed banquets and workshops, and organize outreach to the surrounding community in photonics education.

    The IEEE Photonics society awarded us the Chapter of the Year in 2016, as well as Most Innovative Chapter in 2017.
