http://www.osa.org/aboutosa/awards/theawards/awardsdesc/award06.asp

(8 of 65 Awarded to U of R Physics and Astronomy or Optics Alumni)

Recognizing overall distinction in optics, the Frederic Ives Medal is the highest award of the Society. It was endowed in 1928 by Herbert E. Ives, a distinguished charter member and OSA President, 1924 and 1925, to honor his father who was noted as the inventor of modern photoengraving and for his pioneering contributions to color photography, three-color process printing, and other branches of applied optics. The medalist is asked to present a plenary address at OSA's Annual Meeting. The prize is funded by the Jarus W. Quinn Ives Medal Endowment raised by members at the time of Quinn's retirement in recognition of his 25 years of service as OSA's first Executive

ICO, the International Commission for Optics, has established three awards: the "ICO Prize", the ICO Galileo Galilei Award and the ICTP/ICO Award. The latter was established jointly with ICTP, the International Commission for Theoretical Physics. This announcement combines the three calls for nominations. Nominations are now received for the 2004 Galileo Galilei Award and the 2004 ICO Prize, with a deadline of April 15, 2004. CO/ICTP Award ICO, the International Commission for Optics, and ICTP, the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, have agreed to establish a joint prize, called the ICO/ICTP Award. It is reserved for young researchers from developing countries (as defined by the United Nations), who conduct their research in a developing country. The award will be given to scientists less than 40 years old (on December 31 of the year for which the award is given), who are active in research in Optics and have contributed to the promotion of research activities in Optics in their own or another developing country. While this web site has complete information, the following should be appropriate to prepare a nomination. 2000: Arbab Ali Khan (Pakistan) 2001: Arashmid Nahal (Iran) and Fernando Perez Quitian (Argentina). 2002: Alphan Sennaroglu (Turkey) 2003: Robert Szipöcs (Hungary) ICO has established in 1982 the ICO Prize, to be given each year to an individual who has made a noteworthy contribution to optics, published submitted for publication before he or she has reached the age of 40. (Specifically, the Prize winner must not have reached the age of 40 before December 31 of the year for which the Prize is awarded). The character of the work of successive Prize recipients should preferably alternate between predominantly experimental or technological and predominantly theoretical. The "noteworthy" contribution in optics is measured chiefly by its impact (past or possibly future) on the field of optics generally, opening a subfield or significantly expanding an established subfield in research or technology. 1982 Antoine Labeyrie, France 1983 James R.

ICO Galileo Galilei Award: Rules applicable to the Galileo Galilei Award: 1 - The Galileo Galilei medal of ICO is awarded for outstanding contributions to the field of optics which are achieved under comparatively unfavorable circumstances. 2.1 - The outstanding contributions in the field of optics should refer to: - fundamental scientific questions or problems, or - research or development of optical methods or devices, or - scientific or technical leadership in the establishment of regional optical centers. 2.2 - "Comparatively unfavorable circumstances" refers to difficult economic or social conditions or lack of access to scientific or technical facilities or sources of information. 2.3 - The outstanding contributions must be documented, if applicable, by internationally acknowledged publications. Exceptionally, reports can be considered, provided that they are made available to the Award Committee. 3 - The award is normally given to one person. Exceptionally, however, if a collective contribution is judged to be worthy of the award a team of several persons may be selected. 4 - Every year, the ICO Committee for the Regional Development of Optics issues a call for nominations that is published in the ICO Newsletter, receives the nominations and selects the winner for approval by the Bureau at its next meeting. The award need not be given every year if the Bureau so chooses. 5 - The award consists of: a) the Galileo Galilei Medal, b) assistance in travel to present an invited paper and receive the award at the next ICO Congress or another ICO meeting mutually agreed to by the Bureau and the award winner, c) a cash donation c) special attention and appropriate measures of ICO to support the future activities of the award winner. Additional general information about the Galileo Galilei Award: The Italian Society of Optics and Photonics, SIOF (Società Italiana di Ottica e Fotonica) has agreed to support ICO's initiative and donate the silver medal with the portrait of Galileo Galilei to be given to the recipient. The Award contributes to one of the essential missions of the International Commission for Optics: recognize the promotion of Optics under difficult circumstances. The award was established by the 1993 General Assembly of ICO and has be awarded annually since 1994. 1994 Ion N. Mihailescu, Romania. 1995 Rajpal S.
