GIMS MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE EVENT
On Tuesday March, 4th at 5:00 pm GIMS will be
hosting a Membership drive with light food and drinks provided for any
APS members. Outside of Room 8C at 5:00 pm (just before the business
meeting) Invite your colleagues and friends to join us. Have a snack
and encourage APS members to join GIMS, then stay for the business meeting
and join us for the GIMS only dinner to follow. This will be a great opportunity
to get involved in GIMS and meet others who are interested in Measurement
Science in a social setting.

Joseph F. Keithley Award For Advances in
Measurement Science
|
2003 Joseph F. Keithley
Award to
Arthur Ashkin
Bell Laboratories
|
|
Citation:
"For theoretical and experimental contributions to the understanding
of laser cooling and trapping of atoms and particles, for demonstrating the
optical gradient forces on atoms and the trapping of atoms with light, and
for inventing optical tweezers and showing how they can be used to measure
the physical forces generated by biological molecular motors."
Background:
Arthur Ashkin was born on Sept. 2, 1922. He received an A.B. in Physics from
Columbia College in 1947 and a PhD in Nuclear Physics from Cornell University
in 1952. He worked at the Columbia Radiation Lab (1942-1945) while in
the army, and at AT&T Bell Laboratories (1952-1991).
At Bell Laboratories he did research on microwaves, nonlinear optics, and
laser trapping. With colleagues he made the first observation of cw laser
harmonic generation, cw parametric amplification, discovered the photorefractive
effect and initiated the field of nonlinear optics in optical fibers. He
discovered optical trapping of dielectric particles and proposed stable optical
trapping of atoms. He made the first observation of optical gradient forces
on atoms and the first observation of molasses and optical trapping of atoms.
He was the first to trap biological particles with optical tweezers.
His awards and honors include election to the National Academy
of Engineering and the National Academy of Sciences, the Quantum Electronics
Award of Laser
and Electro-Optic Society of IEEE, the Townes Award of Optical Society
of America, the Rank Prize in Opto-Electronics, the Ives Medal/ Quinn Award
of Optical Society of America. He is a Fellow of APS, OSA, IEEE, and AAAS.
