Beginning of Modern Quantum Optics and New Highlight of Physical Precision Measurements——Introduction to Achievements of Nobel Prize for Physics for 2005 |
|
|
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.
