World Stars of Physics Light up Florence

El.En. Group at Palazzo Vecchio hosted some of crucial figures on the earth of laser: science, physics and trade met to have fun necessary milestones and to pave the way in which to the long run.

Key to the City to Prof. Gérard Mourou, 2018 Nobel Prize winner

Thanks to the El.En. Group of Calenzano, Florence, a multinational specialised in laser manufacturing for medical and industrial purposes, and for conservation of inventive heritage, an occasion was organized to have fun the simply over 40 years because it was based within the presence of the 2018 Nobel Prize winner for Physics, Gérard Mourou, and different distinguished professors of worldwide acclaim who contributed to pioneering analysis within the subject of laser physics, paving the way in which for a large number of scientific and medical purposes.

The occasion was additionally held to honor two shining stars on the earth of physics: The Nobel prize winner Gérard Mourou, who, due to the General Manager of El.En., Mr. Paolo Salvadeo, was given the distinguished honor of receiving the Key to the City of Florence from the Mayor of Florence in a separate public ceremony within the afternoon, and Orazio Svelto, Professor Emeritus of Polytechnic of Milan, father of laser in Italy. Prof. Svelto invented the so-called “hollow fiber compressor” making it doable to realize laser impulses lasting attoseconds, with beforehand unimaginable peak energy. This system is at the moment utilized in many laboratories the world over conducting innovative scientific analysis and non-linear spectroscopy.

During the gala dinner within the Salone dei Cinquecento of Palazzo Vecchio, within the presence of the foremost political authorities, the director of the Uffizi Gallery, of Console USA, and different institutional personalities and of the world of laser, Prof. Mourou shared his imaginative and prescient of the long run of science, beginning with the research that earned him his Nobel prize for inventing the so-called Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA), developed in collaboration with Donna Theo Strickland. It is a method that, due to the technology of ultra-brief and excessive depth impulses, has made laser much more versatile and enabled exploration of beforehand unknown dynamics of physics. A notable presence on the gala dinner was Prof. Sune Svamberg, who for a few years was on the Nobel Committee for Physics, two years throughout which he was president, and Prof. Ursula Keller, one of essentially the most acclaimed and well-known scientists on the earth within the subject of optoelectronics and photonics.

“It’s an honor and I take great pride in being able to create and maintain a deep connection between the world of academics and industry. This shows how crucial collaboration is between these worlds to conduct studies and make discoveries that improve the people’s quality of life. An osmosis of knowledge and a continuous and stimulating dialog that mark continuity among professors and alumni, many of whom dedicate their daily lives in the company laboratories of our group,” affirmed Paolo Salvadeo, General Manager of the El.En. Group
