    AMNON YARIV (Born 1930) INTERVIEWED BY SHIRLEY K. COHEN November – December 1999 Photo by Robert Paz, CIT Public Relations ARCHIVES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California Subject area Applied physics, electrical engineering Abstract Interview in three sessions in November and December 1999 with Amnon Yariv, Martin and Eileen Summerfield Professor of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science. Dr. Yariv received his BS (1954), MS (1956), and PhD (1958) from UC Berkeley. He recalls his childhood in Tel Aviv in the British Mandate of Palestine, his parents’ Polish background, and his early education, which included military training. In 1948, British occupation ends; he participates in the Israeli-Arab conflict; in 1950, leaves Israeli Army to attend the Technion, a technical university in Haifa. Emigrates to U.S. in 1951; matriculates at San Mateo Junior College; transfers to Berkeley, studies electrical engineering (control theory); switches to radio engineering, under John Whinnery, for MS; enters new field of masers for PhD. In 1959, joins group at Bell Labs under James P. Gordon working on making the first laser. Visits T. H. Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories after Maiman produces first laser using another approach. Leaves Bell Labs to http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Yariv_A work on lasers for Watkins-Johnson. Joins Caltech September 1964 as associate professor of electrical engineering; sets up laboratory on semiconductor lasers and another on nonlinear optics. Contacts with Roy Gould; laser work of Nicholas George. Teaches course in solid-state physics and one in laser physics called Quantum Electronics. Publishes Quantum Electronics in 1967, first text in the field.

    Charles Kittel 1916–2019 A Biographical Memoir by Marvin L. Cohen and Morrel H. Cohen ©2021 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. CHARLES KITTEL July 18, 1916–May 15, 2019 Elected to the NAS, 1957 Charles “Charlie” Kittel, famous for his research and teaching in the field of solid state physics (now commonly known as condensed matter physics), passed away peace- fully at his home in Berkeley on May 15, 2019, two months before his 103rd birthday. Beyond his pioneering research, Charlie had a major influence on his field through his textbooks, his award-winning teaching activities, and the outstanding cadre of people who studied under him or were attracted to him as colleagues, postdocs, and many senior visitors. His text Introduction to Solid State Physics (ISSP), originally published in 1953 and now in its eighth edition, was not only the dominant text for teaching in this field, it was on the bookshelf of researchers in academia By Marvin L. Cohen and industry throughout the world. By the fifth edition, it and Morrel H. Cohen had been translated into fifteen languages. His choice of content defined so-called “modern solid state physics” for many years, and the subject matter and basic concepts he focused on are still considered to be the core of the field. Early Life, Education, and Muriel Charlie was born in New York City on July 18, 1916. His father, George Paul Kittel (1887-1971), a Protestant, was born in Germany and emigrated to San Francisco around 1906.
