  • Introduction
    1 INTRODUCTION M.Shifman William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455 USA [email protected] When destination becomes destiny... — 1 — Five decades — from the 1920s till 1970s — were the golden age of physics. Never before have developments in physics played such an important role in the history of civilization, and they probably never will again. This was an exhilarating time for physicists. The same five decades also witnessed terrible atrocities, cruelty and degradation of humanity on an unprecedented scale. The rise of dictatorships (e.g., in Europe, the German national socialism and the communist Soviet Union) brought misery to millions. El sueño de la razón produce monstruos... In 2012, when I was working on the book Under the Spell of Lan- dau, [1] I thought this would be my last book on the history of the- oretical physics and the fate of physicists under totalitarian regimes (in the USSR in an extreme form as mass terror in the 1930s and 40s, and in a milder but still onerous and humiliating form in the Brezhnev era). I thought that modern Russia was finally rid of its dictatorial past and on the way to civility. Unfortunately, my hopes remain fragile: recent events in this part of the world show that the past holds its grip. We are currently witnessing recurrent (and even dangerously growing) symptoms of authoritarian rule: with politi- cal opponents of the supreme leader forced in exile or intimidated, with virtually no deterrence from legislators or independent media, the nation’s future depends on decisions made singlehandedly.

  • Fiber Types in Gigabit Optical Communications
    White Paper Fiber Types in Gigabit Optical Communications Abstract Fiber optic cables are the medium of choice in telecommunications infrastructure, enabling the transmission of high-speed voice, video, and data traffic in enterprise and service provider networks. Depending on the type of application and the reach to be achieved, various types of fiber may be considered and deployed. This paper describes the main characteristics of optical fiber in general, and the properties of multimode and single-mode fiber (MMF and SMF) in particular. Brief History of Optical Communications Table 1.

Kao takes over STL optical communication program when Karbowiak leaves to become chair of electrical engineering at the University of New South Wales.

  • A Nobel for Détente?
    A Nobel for Détente? Laser and scientific internationalism in the Cold War Climério Paulo da Silva Neto* 15º Seminário Nacional de História da Ciência e da Tecnologia Florianópolis, SC, 16 – 18 de Novembro The Nobel prize in physics for 1964 was one of a few controversial awards given by the Nobel Committee. The controversy surrounding that prize may be summarized in the following quote by Theodore Maiman, the man who actually made the first laser work, but was left out of the prize: “[The Nobel Committee] did not do their homework. It would have made more sense to recognize the Russian physicist Fabricant.”1 Maiman was certainly aggrieved for being left out of the prize. As historians we should not take his words for granted. To judge whether or not someone did a homework well we need to take in account several factor, the most important being to know what exactly the homework was. And that is what I am going to discuss in this paper. The paper is organized in the following way. First, I will discuss the Nobel Prize of 1964 in physics and what is controversial about it. Then, I will talk about Nobel Prize and Politics and how taking politics in account might help us to make sense of the 1964 physics prize. Finally, I will present some preliminary results of archival research. The Nobel Prize of 1964 was awarded to Charles Townes, Alexander Prokhorov and Nikolai Basov “for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics that has led to the creation of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser/laser principle”.
