Candidates need not be members of the IEEE or LEOS.
The IEEE/LEOS Engineering Achievement Award is given to recognize an exceptional engineering contribution that has had a significant impact on the development of laser or electro-optic technology within the past 10 years. It may be given to an individual or to a group for a single contribution of significant work in the field. No candidate shall have previously received a major IEEE award for the same work. Candidates need not be members of the IEEE or LEOS.
The IEEE/LEOS Aron Kressel Award is given to recognize those individuals who have made important contributions to opto-electronics device technology. The device technology cited is to have had a significant impact on their applications in major practical systems. The intent is to recognize key contributors to the field for developments of critical components, which lead to the development of systems enabling major new services or capabilities. These achievements should have been accomplished in a prior time frame sufficient to permit evaluation of their last impact. The work cited could have appeared in the form of publications, patents, products, or simply general recognition by the professional community that the individual cited is the agreed upon originator of the advance upon which the award decision is based. The award may be given to an individual or group, up to three in number.
The IEEE/LEOS Distinguished Service Award was established to recognize an exceptional individual contribution of service which has had significant benefit to the membership of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society as a whole. This level of service will often include serving the Society in several capacities or in positions of significant responsibility. Candidates should be members of LEOS.
