Louis F. DiMauro

Louis Franklin DiMauro (born April 9, 1953 in New York City ) is an American experimental physicist ( laser physics , atomic and molecular physics).

DiMauro studied physics at Hunter College, City University of New York with a bachelor's degree in 1975 and received his PhD from the University of Connecticut at Storrs in 1980 . As a post-doctoral student he was at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) and from 1981 he was at the Bell Laboratories at Summit (New Jersey) . From 1988 he was at Brookhaven National Laboratory , where he became Senior Scientist (Senior Chemist) in 1998. Since 1989 he has also been an adjunct professor at SUNY. From 2004 he was Professor at Ohio State University (OSU), where he is Edward and Sylvia Hagenlocker Professor of Physics. In 2012 he became a Distinguished Scholar at OSU.

As an experimental physicist, he deals with physics with ultra-short laser pulses (attosecond pulses, their generation, measurement and application) and the physics of strong electromagnetic fields (from lasers), for which he developed a semiclassical model and investigated scaling in it.

In 2017 he received the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize for Laser Physics for fundamental work in various areas of ultrafast optics and optics in strong fields, from the generation of high harmonics and free-electron lasers to attosecond science (laudation).

In 2004 he received the Science & Technology Award from the Brookhaven National Laboratory and in 2013 the Meggers Prize from the Optical Society of America . He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science . In 2010 he headed the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics department at the APS.
