Erich P. Ippen
Erich Peter Ippen (born March 29, 1940 in Fountain Hill , Pennsylvania ) is an American physicist who deals with laser physics and especially ultrashort pulses.
Ippen, the son of Arthur T. Ippen , studied electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is now the Elihu Thompson Professor of Electrical Engineering .
With Charles Shank at Bell Laboratories he succeeded in 1974 with a passively mode-locked dye laser for the first time the generation of ultrashort pulses (below 1 Piko -sec).
In 1989 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . In 1997 he and Shanks received the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize for Laser Physics . In 2006 he received the Frederic Ives Medal and in 1981 the RW Wood Prize . In 1999 he was President of the Optical Society of America . Ippen is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Sciences .
