Professor Donna Strickland, University of Waterloo Title: From Nonlinear Optics to High-Intensity Laser Physics Abstract: The laser increased the intensity of light that can be generated by orders of magnitude and thus brought about nonlinear optical interactions with matter. Chirped pulse amplification, also known as CPA, changed the intensity level by a few more orders of magnitude […]
