Chapter Activities:
To increase the involvement of the student members, we have a webpage for the Applied
Photonics Initiative, (API) IISc. https://sites.google.com/site/appliedphotonicsiisc/spie-chapter.
Also a facebook group as “Optics-Groups-IISc”
https://www.facebook.com/groups/spieosaiisc/ where all students working in the Optics and
Photonics related areas can coordinate and plan meetups etc. Updates on chapter events and other
activities are regularly posted online.
As per the previous report many activities in the areas of Bio-Photonics, Computational
Techniques in Photonics and Optics and Lasers in Engineering Applications were conducted.
Below are the activities conducted and co-ordinated by the SPIE-IISc student chapter.
