Beginning of Modern Quantum Optics and New Highlight of Physical Precision Measurements——Introduction to Achievements of Nobel Prize for Physics for 2005
摘要瑞典皇家科学院决定,授予路易·格劳伯(Roy J Glauber)、约翰·霍尔(John L Hall)和提阿多·汉斯(Theodor W Hnsch)2005年度的诺贝尔物理学奖。格劳伯是因为他在光相干的量子理论方面的贡献,霍尔和汉斯则是因为他们在发展激光精密光谱学,包括光频梳(optical frequency comb)技术方面的贡献,而分别获此殊荣的。按历史进程简单评述了现代量子光学的发端,给出了现代量子光学的内容概要,较详细地介绍了汉斯和霍尔是如何发展光频梳技术以精确测量光频的。
Abstract:The Royal Swedish Academy of Science has decided to award the Nobel Prize for Physicsfor 2005 to Roy J Glauber for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence, and to JohnL. Hall and Theodor W H nsch for their contributions to the development of laser-based precisionspectroscopy, including the optical frequency comb technique. The beginning of modern quantumoptics is briefly reviewed according to history, and an outline in this field was presented.It was intro-duced in detail how H nsch and Hall developed the optical frequency comb technique for precisionmeasurement of optical frequency.
