Optics InfoBase
Founded in 1916, the mission of the Optical Society of America (OSA) is to promote the generation, application and archiving of knowledge in optics and photonics and to disseminate this knowledge worldwide. The purposes of the Society are scientific, technical and educational.
Recently site-licensed by the Physics Library, Optics InfoBase is OSA’s online repository of both current and past volumes of all its journals. It also contains recent proceedings from OSA conferences. The InfoBase search engine — displayed on the main InfoBase web page — allows users to find articles with simple search, advanced search, and lookup/browse features.
