Optics and Photonics Television Segments

OSA has partnered with the American Institute of Physics (AIP) to develop television news segments on the latest advances in optics and photonics. This program, called Discoveries and Breakthroughs Inside Science (DBIS), is designed to help raise awareness of the role basic science plays in breakthrough technological advances that impact everyday life. Geared towards members of the general public, these segments run on local TV stations nationwide.

DBIS is supported in part through a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).

Ideal resources for members working with pre-college students, these segments are available free of charge.

All segments, including those that focus on disciplines other than optics and photonics, can be accessed online and DVDs of individual segments may be requested by emailing mediarelations@osa.org.
