Donna Theo Strickland CC FRS FRSC HonFInstP (born 27 May 1959) is a Canadian optical physicist and pioneer in the field of pulsed lasers. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, together with Gérard Mourou, for the practical implementation of chirped pulse amplification.
Donna Strickland is a Canadian physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for her method of generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses. She studied and worked at various universities in Canada and the U.S., and invented chirped pulse amplification for laser light.
Donna Strickland is a physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 for developing chirped pulse amplification with Gérard Mourou. She is a professor at the University of Waterloo, where she leads a research group on intense laser-matter interactions and nonlinear optics.
Donna Strickland thinks lasers are cool. With enthusiasm for the field and “very, very hard” work, she found a way to create high-intensity laser pulses. This technique, chirped pulse amplification or CPA, was described in Strickland’s very first scientific paper, and it led to her 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics.
May 23, 2024 · Donna Strickland (born May 27, 1959, Guelph, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian physicist who was awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics for her invention of chirped pulse amplification (CPA), a method of making pulses of laser light of high power and short duration.
Oct 2, 2018 · Prof. Donna Strickland won the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work with lasers. She is the first woman to receive the award in 55 years and the third woman to receive it in over a century.
Donna Strickland was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on ultra-short, high-intensity laser pulses. In this interview she talks about the challenge of learning physics – and why she thinks it’s so important to maintain an element of wonder when doing science. Read the interview.
