Enterprises in Photonics and Quantum Technology increasingly rely on use of photons. Definitions, and views, of photons have undergone a remarkable change during the last century, continuing today with advances in nanotechnology and lasers. Our Changing Views of Photons: A Tutorial Memoir describes the changing views of the physics community toward photons, and how photons are viewed today in several contexts. The first portion of the book, a memoir with fewequations, presents a story of the changing view of physicists toward radiation and its photons, written for those with interest but possibly without technical background. A second portion, of tutorialappendices, explains, from an elementary start, the background of quantum theory and radiation needed for those whose profession involves photonics and who want an explanation of the theory that contemporary physics requires for that subject.
Dr. Bruce W. Shore received his PhD degree from MIT in 1960, was a Research Fellow at the Harvard College Observatory, an Associate Professor of Physics at Kansas State University, and retired in 2001 from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where for decades he was involved with theory of coherent atomic excitation. He has published, singly and with numerous European colleagues, descriptions of the relevant physics. He has served as an editor of JOSA Band Reviews of Modern Physics and is a Fellow of the OSA and the APS. He has been an academic visitor in the Physics Departments at Imperial College, London, the Technical University of Kaiserslautern,and the Technical University of Darmstadt.
