They, along with Dr. Donna Strickland of the University of Waterloo, were recognized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences for their work with the photonics community and laser physics.
Dr. Arthur Ashkin of Bell Laboratories received half of the Nobel Prize for his work with optical tweezers and their use in biological systems. His work transformed optical manipulation of matter.
Dr. Gerard Mourou of Ecole Polytechnique and the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor and Dr. Strickland were jointly awarded half for their work in generating high-intensity optical pulses, advancing the medical, manufacturing, and research fields.
