The goal of this page is to bring together the optics community at UT Arlington, to encourage collaboration, research and promote interest in the area of optics. We try to keep you abreast of anything optics happening at UTA. Everyone is welcome to share news, events and thoughts/ideas about optics and photonics, and even related fields. This page is run by the SPIE Arlington Student Chapter, and
as such, we encourage all members to join the club, but non members are welcome too! To join SPIE, just go to https://spie.org/membership/addresses?redir=x1722.xml&ID=x1722 (make sure to choose UT Arlington as your student chapter!!!) where you can become a student member for just 20$ a year ! The many benefits include scholarships, grants (like Travel grants, Officer Grants, and Student Chapter grants), access to digital libraries, monthly
and quarterly journal subscriptions, career center access, networking opportunities, special prices for the many world class conferences (some of the biggest in the field of optics) and other resources to stay abreast of the happenings in research and industry.
