The 2002 Annual General Meeting of the Australian Optical Society AGMnotice2002.pdf will be held at 12:30 pm on Friday the 23th of August. The meeting will be held in the Link Building seminar room, Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra. The meeting will take place on the Friday of the Photonic Crystals Down Under conference which runs August 18-24. More information on the Photonics Crystals meeting can be found at: http://wwwrsphysse.anu.edu.au/nonlinear/meeting/
Earlier, a very successful 
ACOLS2001
was held on 3 - 6 December 2001 at The University of Queensland Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
The previous AOS conference, AOS2000,
coincided with the AIP Congress in Adelaide, December 11-15, 2000.
ACOFT2000
was held at the Australian National University, Canberra, 26-30 June 2000.
This year (1999), the conference of the Australian Optical Society will be co-located with the Australian Conference on Optical Fibres and Technology. The conferences will be held at the University of Sydney.
Wednesday is a joint AOS/ACOFT day.ACOLS 98, the Australisian Conference on Optics, Lasers and Spectroscopy, will be held in Christchurch, 14th-17th December, 1998
OFTC, Sydney, Friday afternoon, 24 July 1998.
The AOS AGM will be preceded by a meeting of the AOS Council. Of more interest to the general AOS membership is the plan to accompany the AGM on the same afternoon by a Mini-Symposium on "Current Topics in Optics". A similar event last May at the time of the 1997 AGM proved highly successful.
I am delighted to report that the 1998 AOS AGM and Mini-Symposium will be held at the Australian Photonics CRC, Optical Fibre Technology Centre (OFTC), at the new Australian Technology Park, Eveleigh (near University of Sydney). Our colleagues at OFTC have kindly agreed to make their meeting facilities available to us and to conduct a tour of their technological facilities before the Mini-Symposium commences in mid-afternoon. We hope that this event will attract a wide-ranging audience, both from the Sydney area and from farther afield.
So please pencil 24 July into your diary. Full details of time and place, Mini-Symposium programme, AGM agenda, etc. will appear in the next issue of AOS News.

The eleventh conference of The Australian Optical Society will be hosted by the Department of Physics and Mathematical Physics at The University of Adelaide in December 1997. The meeting will concentrate on all aspects of optics, lasers, and applications in Australia with contributions invited from all academic institutions, government laboratories and industry. There will also be a number of invited plenary speakers from overseas.
The meeting of the AOS will be immediately preceded by a workshop in Quantum Optics.
Details of the meetings will be appearing in forthcoming issues of the AOS News, and a web page will be established for registration. This will be a great meeting, and Adelaide is at its best in December!

The Australian Optical Society has organised a topical symposium on the same afternoon as its 1997 Annual General Meeting (see accompanying notice and agenda). Three leading opticists from the Sydney area have agreed to talk about their optical research interests, from basics to frontiers.
The programme of the afternoon is:
3.05 pm Welcome & introduction (Professor Brian Orr, AOS President)
3.10 pm "Nonlinear optics in gratings" Dr Martijn de Sterke (University of Sydney)
3.50 pm Annual General Meeting of the Australian Optical Society
4.10 pm Refreshments
4.30 pm "Optics in timekeeping" Dr Peter Fisk (CSIRO Division of Applied Physics)
5.10 pm "Asymptotics for optics" Professor Greg Forbes (Macquarie University)
5.50 pm Close of symposium
6.30 pm Dinner at a local restaurant (optional)
There will be no registration fee for this symposium, but a parking fee is likely to be charged for entry to the Macquarie University campus.
How to get there:
Enter by the Herring/Waterloo Road entrance to the campus (near Macquarie Centre);
parking areas E1, E3, E4, F3 and F5 are all conveniently located; theatre E6A 102 is on
the ground level of the foyer at the north-west corner of the (relatively new) E6A building
