Jen Kruschwitz, associate professor of optics at the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics, extends warm congratulations to her friend Donna Strickland '89 (PhD). Strickland and Gerard Mourou, her former graduate advisor and a scientist at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics in the 1980s, have been awarded the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work developing chirped pulse amplification (CPA). CPA has enabled the modern high-powered precision laser and the accompanying research capabilities, along with LASIK eye surgery, smartphone screens, and other aspects of daily life we now take for granted.
