History edit

Optica was founded in 1916 as the "Optical Society of America", under the leadership of Perley G. Nutting,[3] with 30 optical scientists and instrument makers based in Rochester, New York. It soon published its first journal of research results and established an annual meeting.[4][5] The first local section was established in Rochester, New York, in 1916 and the Journal of the Optical Society of America was created in 1918.[5] The first series of joint meetings with the American Physical Society was in 1918.[5] In 2008 it changed its name to The Optical Society (OSA).[6] In September 2021, the organization's name changed to Optica, which references the organization's journal and is geographically neutral in order to reflect the global membership of the society.[7]
