From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Alfred Kastler' (May 3, 1902
– January 7, 1984) was a French physicist, and Nobel Prize laureate.
Kastler was born in Guebwiller (Alsace) and later attended the Lycée Bartholdi
in Colmar, Alsace, and École Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1921. After his
studies, in 1926 he began teaching physics at the Lycée of Mulhouse, and then
taught at the University of Bordeaux, where he was a university professor until
1941. Georges Bruhat asked him to come back to the École Normale Supérieure,
where he finally obtained a chair in 1952.
Collaborating with Jean Brossel, he researched quantum mechanics, the
interaction between light and atoms, and spectroscopy. Kastler, working on
combination of optical resonance and magnetic resonance, developed the technique
of "optical pumping". Those works led to the completion of the theory of lasers
and masers.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1966 "for the discovery and development of
optical methods for studying Hertzian resonances in atoms".
He was president of the board of the Institut d'optique théorique et
appliquée.
