Dicke, Robert H. (Robert Henry)
Robert H. Dicke response to Laser History Project Survey, 1983.
File includes: a scientific autobiography in which Dicke describes his early interest in math and science; his high school education; his college studies at the University of Rochester under Lee A. Dubridge and Frederick Seitz, at whose suggestion he transferred to Princeton University in 1937. Dicke describes his encounters at the Institute for Advanced Study with Albert Einstein, Eugene Wigner, Isidor I. Rabi, Niels Bohr, Wolfgang Pauli, Paul Dirac, and Leo Szilard; and his work with fellow students David Frisch, Ray Emerich, and Hans and Wolfgang Panofsky. Dicke recounts his graduate work at the University of Rochester in nuclear physics under Victor Weisskopf; his work during World War II at the Radiation Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he invented "chirp" radar, coherent pulse and monopulse radar, and the microwave radiometer; his work after the war at Princeton University with microwave measurements and photo-ionization of sodium atoms; his later interests in gravitation, Mach's Principle, scalar-tensor theory, geophysics, and astrophysics. File also includes a list of publications, a list of patents, a curriculum vitae, and a survey of Dicke's unpublished materials.
Dicke was born in 1916; died in 1997.
