Contributions To Laser Science

AUTHOR: Rebecca Andrews, p.21-22

Lorenzo M. Narducci, Francis K. Davis Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science at Philadelphia's Drexel University, and Stephen E. Harris, Kenneth and Barbara Oshman Professor of Electrical Engineering and professor of applied physics at Stanford University, have been named cowinners of the 1991 Einstein Prize for Laser Science by the Society for Optics and Quantum Electronics. The two were cited for "important contributions in the area of the effects of atomic coherence in laser physics." They will each receive an inscribed medal at Lasers '91, the 14th International Conference on Lasers and Applications, to be held in San Diego in December.

Narducci is being recognized for his 1990 theory that it is possible to alter the fundamental characteristics of atomic emissions of light (Physical Review A, 42:1630-49, 1990), breaking from the long-standing belief that each element has a signature, unchanging spectral ...
