Gérard Mourou, pictured here at the 'grand opening' of the ELI Beamlines facility held in October 2015, is recognized as the pioneer behind chirped pulse amplification (CPA), a technique used to generate high-power pulses of laser light now used in virtually ever major laser laboratory. He wants to harness the technology for photon therapy treatment of cancer. Photo: ELI Beamlines. |
