Happy 2022! In the new year, there are many new happenings in the IEEE Photonics Society. First off, I’d like
to welcome our new Society president, René-Jean Essiambre! We’re excited to have René at the helm, and we
look forward to his leadership over the next two years. Please be sure to check out his first President’s Column
for his inaugural Newsletter message to the community. Speaking of Society presidents, we’re privileged to
have a special contribution from past-president, Robert Bartolini. Over 40 years ago, Dr. Bartolini started
the very first Newsletter for the IEEE Photonics Society (then known as the IEEE Quantum Electronics and Application
Society, or QEAS). Dr. Bartolini, in his piece, reflects on that time of the early QEAS, its evolution, and the bigger picture of the advances in technology and photonics. It gives a great sense of our heritage as both a professional society and a scientific field.
Welcome to the final issue of the Newsletter for 2021! I’m writing this on the day after American Thanksgiving, and, in the spirit of reflecting on gratitude, I’m certainly thankful for this inspiring and supportive community. This was a year of many accomplishments in unprecedented times. To me, some of the most impressive feats were achieved by our chapters and conferences, which found new ways to engage the community. I have a feeling the incredibly challenging work done by these groups over the past year or two will have an impact for many many years to come.

Welcome to August! The longest/shortest day of 2021 (depending on your geography) is behind us as we’ve entered the second half of the year. In my life, I’m seeing a little bit more “hybrid” activity – I’m still home a lot, but getting out to …
It’s hard to believe we’re just about midway through 2021 already. A lot has happened in the past six months, and it looks as if a whole lot more is to come in the next six. I’m sad to say that there have been many …
