From Science to Siberia Laser

Vladilen S. Letokhov

Di Renzo Editore

In this book Vladilen Letokhov , an expert in laser spectroscopy, describes his personal experience during the past fifty years: a 'experience including the initiation of new scientific trends and the expansion of existing ones, visits and work experience in many laboratories, meetings with scientists from many countries, inventions, experiments, theories and even administrative tasks. Different experience from that of the typical scientist, according to the author may be useful to all those young people interested in scientific careers.

Laser Coherence, Complexity, Creativity Fun with


Coherence, Complexity, Creativity , F. Tito Arecchi

Di Renzo Editore

Modern science pulls out detailed measurements with repeated measures that leave no room for uncertainty, but this collection measures does not give the "logical construction of the world." The man is in fact a semiotic animal and look in the experience of global significance, not fully recovered, but context dependent on environmental conditions of light and sound or our mood, adding, by a process of feedback, caught more of the variables from its store of memories. With the account of his scientific life, Arecchi tends to show how the physics of coherence and complexity make you end up with a knowledge of physics, with a recovery of global significance beyond the details measured by the instruments.

Fortunato Tito Arecchi is Professor of Physics at the University of Florence. He was also Chairman of the National Institute of Optics from 1975 to 2000. His major contributions concern the discovery of the phenomena of order and chaos in lasers and their description by the statistics of photons, which gave the first evidence in 1965. has explored the spatial and temporal complexity of optical systems and control and synchronization of chaotic systems, with applications to networks of neurons. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and member of the Academie Internationale de Philosophie des Sciences, the Academia Europaea and of the Scientific Committee for Physics Solvay Institute. He has received numerous international awards.
