HPF Team members Scott Diddams, AJ Metcalf, and Connor Fredrick have been named the 2021 recipients of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Photonics Society’s Laser Instrumentation Award. From the IEEE citation,
The IEEE Photonics Society Laser Instrumentation Award is given to recognize key contributors to the field for developments of laser-based and electro-optical instruments, which lead to the development of innovative systems enabling major new measurements or process capabilities of relevance to applications in industrial, biomedical avionic and metrology fields.
Scott, AJ, and Connor received this award for the development of HPF’s near-infrared Laser Frequency Comb, or LFC. The award noted that the LFC “enables the most precise near-infrared astronomical Doppler spectroscopy.”
Join us in congratulating the HPF Laser Frequency Comb Team!
