TitleCorkum, Paul Bruce: certificate of election to the Royal Society
CitationThe highly nonlinear interaction between intense femtosecond laser pulses and matter permits measurement and control of electrons, atoms, molecules, solids and light --- perhaps even atomic nuclei. Dr. Corkum has pioneered many of the concepts that underlie this new physics. Most spectacularly, he has shown that controlling laser light controls the nonlinear light/matter interaction, permitting attosecond optical and electron pulses to form. He has used the electron pulses to make the fastest "real-time" measurements ever recorded and combined them with sub 0.1 Angstrom spatial resolution. This new technology will allow simultaneous measurements at the fundamental space and time scale of matter.
