Rudolf Kazarinov
Rudolf Kazarinow , called Rudy, (* 1933 in the Soviet Union ) is a Russian-American solid-state physicist.
Kazarinow graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute in 1958 and received his doctorate in 1962 from the Joffe Institute . In the same year he proposed a diode laser with heterostructures in a seminar by BV Tsarenkov , which was taken up by Shores Alfjorow and led to a joint patent in March 1963. The concept led to a project at the Joffe Institute for the implementation of laser diodes, which was successful in the late 1960s.
In 1971, together with RA Suris , he proposed quantum well lasers with interband transitions. The concept was demonstrated in 1994 as a quantum cascade laser (QCL) at Bell Laboratories by Federico Capasso and colleagues. In 1972 both proposed the distributed feedback semiconductor laser (DFB).
In 1979 he went to Bell Laboratories . There he worked with Charles H. Henry on new technologies for integrated optics and noise in photonics.
In 1998 he received the Quantum Electronics Award from IEEE- LEOS.
