Schliesser Receives Otto Hahn Medal

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GARCHING, Germany, May 13, 2010 — Dr. Albert Schliesser, a young research scientist at Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, has been awarded the 2009 Otto Hahn Medal “for his contributions to the investigation of the effects of light pressure in optical microresonators, in particular for the first demonstration of optomechanical laser cooling of mechanical oscillators.” Since 1978, this award has been given annually to up to 40 young scientists by the Max Planck Society. It is intended to encourage highly talented people to pursue a professional career at universities and institutes in the field of...Read full article

    laser spectroscopy
    That part of the science involved in the study of the theory and interpretation of spectra that uses the unique characteristics of the laser as an integral part in the development of information for analysis. Raman spectroscopy and emission spectroscopy are two areas where lasers are used.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
