Tuesday April 23: Spring Seminar Series
Please join us for a talk with Jerome Fung -
“The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics: Groundbreaking Inventions in Laser Physics”
The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for pioneering achievements that use lasers. Half the prize was awarded to Donna Strickland and Gérard Mourou for developing a technique called chirped pulse amplification for amplifying ultrashort laser pulses. The other half was awarded to Arthur Ashkin for the invention of optical tweezers, in which light exerts forces to trap nanoscale objects. I will discuss the underlying physics behind these inventions and highlight some of their applications.
