SPIE SPIE is a non-profit international society for the exchange, collection and dissemination of knowledge in optics, photonics, and imaging engineering. SPIE organizes conferences, courses and exhibitions covering all aspects and applications of optical engineering. SPIE publishes six refereed journals, a member magazine SPIE Professional, the technical news website SPIE Newsroom, as well as conference proceedings and peer-reviewed handbooks, reference books, and tutorials.

OSA The Optical Society of America (OSA) is a scientific society dedicated to advancing the study of light—optics and photonics—in theory and application, by means of worldwide research, scientific publishing, conferences and exhibitions, partnership with industry, and the education of new generations of scientists. The organization's members reside in over 100 nations and span many disciplines: physicists, biologists, medical researchers, electrical engineers, display component engineers, communications specialists, vision scientists, astronomers, meteorologists, materials scientists, technical specialists in imaging, and others.Commonly known as OSA, the society exemplifies the self-governing, mutual-assistance professional associations that fostered development of science and technology through the 20th century to the present. By 2008, OSA reported 15,100 individuals members. During the year, the society published 41,000 pages of research in its journals and hosted 22,000 attendees at conferences and meetings.
