Societies and Journals in Optical-Mechanical Engineering

[Tone L]

Hi folks.

For those in Optical Engineering, detector work or the Optical-Mechanical Engineering field I was curious which society do you use for conferences and research work. Which journals do you tend to look at for research literature.

I see SPIE and IEEE are the prominent ones, any others?

Cheers.

Goofball.

What did you like to read while you were in school? Did you read SID Proceedings at all? I enjoyed going to local meetings/seminars and I think I went to one or two national conferences. That was in the early days of commercial LCDs and VR HUDs, Exciting stuff.

Nope. I was an undergrad, so I was more focused on basics than on getting familiar with all the new literature.

OP: If you have an interest in materials and fabrication for optoelectronic devices, take a look at the Electrochemical Society and its journals: https://www.electrochem.org/
