Hall and Hänsch on Lasers
Some fifty years ago the first lasers were developed. They were seen as a curious diversion of physics by some, but since that time they have proved to be a success story of science theory and application. The original nascent concepts of how light behaved were discovered by James Clerk Maxwell just before the 20th […]
Laser, Präzisionsuhren und ein Wasserstoffrätsel
Die Grenzen des physikalisch Bekannten kann man in verschiedene Richtungen erweitern. Aktuell steht natürlich (Higgs-Teilchen!) erst einmal die Energie im Vordergrund, denn die neuen Ergebnisse verdanken wir den hohen Kollisionsenergien zusammenprallender Teilchen, die vor dem LHC noch nie ein Teilchenbeschleuniger erreicht hat. Bei zwei weiteren hochinteressanten Vorträgen gestern, denen von John L. Hall (Bild unten) […]
50 years of lasers
This year is the 50th anniversary of the first successful laser built by Theodore Maiman. The laser is a beautiful example of fundamental physics leading to profound effects on our daily lives. The laser will be discussed on the first day of the conference by Nicolaas Bloembergen, who himself received the the 1981 Nobel Prize for […]
