Chung L. Tang

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chung Liang Tang (born May 14, 1934 in Shanghai ) is a Chinese -born American physicist who deals with quantum electronics .

Tang studied at the University of Washington with a Bachelor Accounts 1955 and at Caltech with the Master Accounts in 1956 and in 1960 at the Harvard University doctorate in applied physics. In 1959/60 he was a John Parker Traveling Fellow at RWTH Aachen University . From 1960 he was in research at Raytheon , where he was appointed Principal Research Scientist in 1963. In 1964 he became an associate professor and 1968 professor at Cornell University . From 1969 he was only a consultant at Raytheon. He is Emeritus Spencer T. Olin Professor of Engineering at Cornell University.

In 1970/71 he was visiting scientist at Harvard and at the Naval Research Laboratory, 1979/80 he was visiting professor at the University of Washington and the Laboratory for Quantum Optics of the CNRS in Paris and in 1985 McKay visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley . He is particularly known for his work on traveling wave laser resonators and electro-optical modulators. In the 1990s he dealt with ultra-short laser pulses and the study of femtosecond processes in semiconductors and the optical bistability of semiconductor lasers.

In 1996 he received the Charles Hard Townes Award . He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering (1986), the American Physical Society , the IEEE, and the Optical Society of America .

From 1969 to 1976 he was Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics and he was Associate Editor of Optics Letters . He edited the volume Quantum Electronics in the Methods of Experimental Physics series and was co-editor of the volumes on Nonlinear Optics of the Treatise on Quantum Electronics (Academic Press).
