American Physical Society. Annual Meeting (2010: Washington, D.C)
The laser: historical perspectives and impact on precision measurements [sound recording], 2010 February 16.
Audio recording of session X4 of the April 2010 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Washington, DC in February 2010. This session was co-sponsored by the American Physical Society (APS) Forum on the History of Physics (FHP)and Group on Precision Measurement & Fundamental Constants (GPMFC), and chaired by Daniel Kleppner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Talks (and speakers) include: "First light : from the ruby laser to nonlinear optics" (Joseph A. Giordmaine); "Freedom from band-gap slavery: from diode lasers to quantum cascade lasers" (Federico Capasso); and "Developing Stabilized Lasers, Measuring their Frequencies, demoting the Metre, inventing the Comb, and further consequences" (John L. Hall). Topics discussed include the history and development of the laser, laser diodes and quantum cascade lasers semiconductor lasers).
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
