OF&T Session Focuses on Standards

Eight years of work on international optical standards writing will be reviewed in a half-day session of the Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing, to be held during OSA's Annual Meeting. The session, scheduled for Friday morning, Nov. 4, will be devoted to optical standards and work of ISO/TC 172—Optics and Optical Instruments, with six invited papers on various aspects of international optical standardization given by the heads of the committees doing the standards writing work. Handouts of the international draft standards for optical drawings, OTF and environmental testing, and optical thin film coatings will be available.
