He never sought recognition, but fame came to him in a different way. He will be dearly remembered by colleagues and friends as one of the most influential and creative contributors to the science of light from our generation. ■ A SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF PROFESSOR MARK projects involved large groups and implied very long STOCKMAN experimental cycles. He moved to the neighboring Institute of Mark Stockman was born on the 21st of July 1947 in Kharkov, a Automation and Electrometry in Novosibirsk to work on the major cultural, scientific, educational, and industrial center in the fundamentals of nonlinear optics with Sergey Rautian.

His father, Ilya Stockman, was a phenomena in macromolecules. mining engineer by training, who fought in World War II and Around this time, the political regime in the Soviet Union became a highly decorated enlisted officer. After the war, Ilya softened and the Iron Curtain was lifted. In 1990, on the Stockman embraced an academic career and eventually became invitation of Professor Thomas F.

  • The 'Spaser' Heats up Laser Technology 13 January 2011
    The 'Spaser' heats up laser technology 13 January 2011 Annual Meeting. Seeing your DNA up close Spasers are considered a critical component for future technologies based on nanophotonics - - technologies that could lead to radical innovations in medicine and science, such as a sensor and microscope 10 times more powerful than anything used today. A Spaser-based microscope might be so sensitive that it could see genetic base pairs in DNA. It could also lead to computers and electronics that operate at speeds 100 times greater than today's devices, using light instead of electrons to communicate and compute. More efficient solar energy collectors in renewable energy are another proposed application. Lasers have revolutionized the communications and medical industries. They focus light to zap "It rhymes with laser, but our Spaser is different," tumors and send digital TV signals and telephone says Prof. Bergman, who owns the Spaser patent communications around the world. with his American partner.

These achievements are of nanofocusing using the effective volume of hybrid already finding applications in nanoscale sensing and in coupled modes formalism is presented and the role of the development of efficient single photon sources. Landau damping as the main limiting factor is highlighted. In 2003 Mark Stockman, working with colleagues Keywords: adiabatic; impedance matching; nanofocusing; Kuiru Li and David Bergman, was the first one to come up plasmonics. with this groundbreaking idea that using a chain of self- similar (i.e. having the same shape) nanoparticles with progressively decreasing sizes can focus the light into the 1 Introduction gap between the smallest nanospheres where the local fields are enhanced by orders of magnitude [5].
