UNM/OSE Student Organizations

OPTICA - UNM Student Chapter

Welcome to OPTICA, formerly the Optical Society of America (OSA) student chapter at the University of New Mexico (UNM). Our goal is to apply the mission of the international OSA organization to the local Albuquerque optics community.

Our organization’s mission has stayed substantially on the same course its charter members envisioned over a century ago. The significance of the field, the genius of the OSA founders, and the remarkable dedication of those who followed enabled the society to become the global forum for light science and technology that it is today.

Our association is run by student leaders elected by their peers.  Join us: osa@unm.edu   UNM Chapter Website: https://osa.unm.edu/        National Website: https://www.osa.org/en-us/get_involved/students/student_chapters/
