Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier win Nobel Prize in Physics

 Nobel Prize 2023: The Royal Swedish Academy, this year has announced Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Cruz and Anne L. Huillier this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. This award was given for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light to study electron mobility in materials. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier have pioneered a technique to generate incredibly brief pulses of light, enabling the observation of lightning-fast electron movements and energy changes that were previously mysterious.

Pierre Agostini's pioneering work involved the production and investigation of continuous light pulses, with each pulse lasting just 250 attoseconds. This achievement has opened the door to observations of electron dynamics on unprecedented temporal scales.

 

 

 In parallel Ferenc Krausz developed a specific experimental approach that allows to isolate single light pulses extending up to 650 attoseconds. This breakthrough facilitates precise studies of fast electron processes.

Anne L'Huillier made an unprecedented discovery when she transmitted infrared laser light through a noble gas, revealing the emergence of different light tones. These overtones, produced by the interaction between laser light and gas atoms, have provided invaluable insight into electron energy emissions. Collectively, the work of Agostini, Krausz, and L'Huillier has ushered in a new era of scientific exploration. Their creation of ultra-short light pulses has enabled scientists to take snapshots of the incredibly fast motion of electrons, shedding light on previously hidden phenomena.

Furthermore, L'Huillier's discovery of unique effects arising from the interaction of laser light with gas atoms, combined with the innovations of Agostini and Crosz, has pushed the limits of achievable light pulse duration, allowing exploration of the microscopic world. There has been a revolution in our ability to apply. The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics recognizes the extraordinary contributions of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L'Huillier.
