IEEE/LEOS Quantum Electronics Award
The Quantum Electronics Award is given for exceptional and outstanding
technical contributions that have had a major impact in the fields of
quantum electronics and lasers and electro-optics. This award is given
for truly excellent and time-tested work in any of the fields of interest
of LEOS. It may be given to an individual or to a group for a single
outstanding contribution or for a long history of significant technical
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 award will be presented at the Conference on Lasers
and Electro-Optics/Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference
(CLEO/QELS 2006).
IEEE/LEOS Distinguished Lecturer Awards
The Distinguished Lecturer Awards are presented to honor interesting
speakers who have made recent significant contributions to the field
of lasers and electro-optics, or who have industrial or entrepreneurial
experience at a senior level in the fields of interest to LEOS. The
program is designed to honor excellent speakers who have made technical,
industrial or entrepreneurial contributions of high quality and to enhance
the technical programs of LEOS chapters. Consideration is given to having
a balance of speakers who can address a wide range of topics of current
interest in the fields covered by LEOS. The term for the Lecturers is
July 1 of the year of election until June 30 of the following year.
Candidates need not be members of the IEEE or LEOS.
