- IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society
The IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society is a society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It is also known by its acronym LEOS. In the hierarchy of IEEE, the Lasers and Electro-Optics Society' is one of close to 40 technical societies organized under the IEEE's Technical Activities Board [cite web|title=IEEE Societies, Councils and Technical Communities | publisher=Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers | url=http://www.ieee.org/web/societies/home/index.html | accessdate=2006-09-06] .
Subjects of Interest
The Society exists to support activities in the research, development, design, manufacture, and applications of lasers, optical devices, optical fibers, and associated lightwave technology and their applications. It aid and promotes scientific and technological activities which contribute to the useful expansion of the field of quantum electronics and their applications.
The Society supports publications, sponsors meetings, and other forms of information exchange.
The Lasers and Electro-Optics Society oversees the publication of 4 peer reviewed journals: Photonics Technology Letters, the Journal of Quantum Electronics the Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics and in conjunction with the Optical Society of America IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology
