orazio svelto receives Julius springer prize for Applied physics 2011
This year’s Julius Springer Prize for Applied Physics was awarded to Professor Orazio Svelto for his pioneering, long-lasting and innovative work in the fields of lasers and optics. Svelto is an internationally renowned laser and photonics scientist and one of the world leaders of the scientific community in this field. The award, accompanied by EUR 5,000, was presented at the Laser World of Photonics Congress in Munich, Germany. The research activities of Svelto focus on physics of
laser resonators and techniques of mode selection, laser applications in biology and biomedicine, and physics of solid-state lasers, in particular ultrashort laser pulse generation. Svelto is professor of physics of matter at the
Polytechnic Institute of Milan. He is also responsible for
the Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies of the Italian National Research Council – Milan section. His research has covered a wide range of laser physics and photonics, starting from the early beginning of these disciplines in 1962. He is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and holds three patents. Svelto is the recipient of several awards, including the Quantum Electronics Prize of the European Physical Society and the Charles H. Townes Award of the Optical Society of America.
At Springer, Professor Svelto has published his book Principles of Lasers, which has currently been adopted at several universities in Europe and the United States. The book’s previous editions were translated into Russian, Chinese, Greek, Arabic and Farsi.
