Atoms Quote by Alfred Kastler

The atoms become like a moth, seeking out the region of higher laser intensity.

— Steven Chu

We proved that we could increase laser intensity by orders of magnitude. In fact, CPA led to the most intense laser pulses ever recorded.…

— Donna Strickland

My PhD project was actually doing something that required a high-intensity laser. It was supposed to work in a way that many, many photons…

— Donna Strickland

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.

— Eric Allin Cornell

“A nuclear flash started with a “fast-rising, short-duration pulse followed by a comparatively slow-rising long-duration pulse” as the fireball grew. Not even nature’s most…

— Garrett M. Graff

We can in fact first place the beam of rays of moving positive atomic ions in a plane perpendicular to the axis in which…

— Johannes Stark

I said, suppose you take a light - I was thinking of just light bulbs because, in those days, lasers were not yet really…

— Rainer Weiss

“comparing it with a gem says: "There exists a bright gem illuminating through the worlds in ten directions by its light."[FN#143]”

— Kaiten Nukariya

What the ultrafast laser does is that because it doesn't have to just cut from the surface, it's only at the intense focal point…

— Donna Strickland

The whole subject of the X rays is opening out wonderfully, Bragg has of course got in ahead of us, and so the credit…

— Henry Moseley

For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra - and…

— Johannes Stark

One speck of light can turn into thousand pieces
