Emil Wolf to Receive Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award
Emil Wolf has been named the winner of the 2008 Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award for his book Introduction to the Theory of Coherence and Polarization of Light.
Emil Wolf has been named the winner of the 2008 Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award for his book Introduction to the Theory of Coherence and Polarization of Light. Published in October 2007 by Cambridge University Press, Wolf's book is the first to provide a unified treatment of the phenomena of coherence and polarization.
The biennial award is cosponsored by SPIE and the Optical Society of America (OSA), and will be presented at the OSA Frontiers of Optics 2008 meeting (October 19–23, 2008) at the Rochester, New York, Riverside Convention Center.
Members of the selection committee had high praise for Wolf's book. According to Jose Sasian, a professor at the College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona, "The committee selected Emil Wolf's book for its excellent writing, rigor, and clarity. The decision was unanimous."
Emil Wolf is Wilson Professor of Optical Physics at the University of Rochester (Rochester, New York), and is co-author with Max Born of Principles of Optics, one of the most cited science books of the 20th century.
The Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award is funded by Joseph W. and Hon Mai Goodman and recognizes authorship of an outstanding book published in the last six years in the field of optics and photonics. The winner is chosen by an international panel sponsored jointly by OSA and SPIE.
Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy Reveals Influence of Defects on 2D Semiconductor Devices
April 25th 2024A recent study used deep level transient spectroscopy to investigate the electrical response of defect filling and emission in monolayer metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD)-grown materials deposited on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible substrates.
Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
Single Cell and Microplastic Analysis by ICP-MS with Automated Micro-Flow Sample Introduction
April 25th 2024Single cell ICP-MS (scICP-MS) is increasingly seen as a powerful and fast tool for the measurement of elements in individual cells, mainly due to the high sensitivity and selectivity of ICP-MS. Analysis is performed in the same way as single nanoparticle (spICP-MS) analysis, which has become a well-established technique for the analysis of nanoparticles and particles.
