Paul Mandel
Paul Mandel (born November 8, 1942 in Geneva ) is a Belgian physicist who deals with nonlinear optics , quantum optics and lasers .
Mandel received his doctorate in 1969 under Ilya Prigogine at the Free University of Brussels and completed his habilitation there in 1980. There he was the founder and head of the group for theoretical nonlinear optics. In 2008 he retired.
He made important contributions to the development of nonlinear cavity optics , the dynamics of lasers, frequency doubling in cavities (intracavity second harmonic generation), theory of the patterns of transverse modes (Transverse Patterns), lasers without inversion (LWI) and atomic interference phenomena.
Mandel was editor of the journal Quantum and Semiclassical Optics of the European Optical Society from 1994 to 1998 . In 1998 he received the Willis E. Lamb Prize . He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (1984). From 1987 until he was a member of the 25th Scientific Commission of the Belgian National Research Fund (FNRS).
He lists opera, anthropology and mythological literature as hobbies.
