INFORMATION PROCESSING

Welcome to OSA's Information Processing division. Here you will find information on books, journals, conferences, and technical programs related to Holography, Image Processing, Optical Computing, and Optical Data Storage. For more information scroll down to the Technical Group section.

Journals

Information Processing Technical Groups:

Holography: Science, devices, systems, materials and applications of holography from radio frequencies through x-rays and beyond.

Image Processing: All aspects of image processing, particularly algorithms and analysis.

Optical Computing: Processing techniques based on electro-optics, magneto-optics, acousto-optics and nonlinear optics, in addition to classical optics.

Optical Data Storage: Development and applications of optical memories and component technologies, including media, lasers, heads and drives.

Note: As an OSA member you may join three OSA Technical Groups at no charge. These groups are your link to valuable information and colleagues. Receive special newsletters and attend group meetings and symposia!. Click here for OSA membership information.
