<abstract>The W. H. (Beattie) Steel Medal has been awarded occasionally by the Australian Optical Society since 1995. Before 2004 it known as the Australian Optical Society Medal. It is awarded to recognise a researcher who has made outstanding contributions in the field of optics in Australia and New Zealand and has a sustained record of authority, enterprise and innovation. The Medal commemorates William (Beattie) Steel, an expert in interferometry, who was the first Chairman of the Australian Optical Society.</abstract>
