All other call details remain unchanged. *** The American Physical Society invites nominations for the Arthur L Schawlow prize in laser science. This recognises contributions to basic research that uses lasers to advance knowledge of the fundamental physical properties of materials and their interaction with light. Some examples of relevant areas of research are: nonlinear optics, ultrafast phenomena, laser spectroscopy, squeezed states, quantum optics, multiphoton physics, laser cooling and trapping, physics of lasers, particle acceleration by lasers, and short wavelength lasers. Nominations are open to scientists of all nationalities regardless of the geographical site at which the work was done. Nominations of qualified women, members of underrepresented minority groups and scientists from outside the US are especially encouraged. Self-nominations are not accepted. The prize consists of USD 10,000 plus a travel allowance to the APS meeting. |
