About Yuen-Ron Shen
- Yuen-Ron Shen (Chinese: ???; pinyin: Shen Yuánrang) is a Chinese physicist.
- He is a professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, known for his work on non-linear optics.
- He was born in Shanghai and graduated from National Taiwan University.
- He received his Ph.D.
- in Applied Physics from Harvard under physicist and Nobel Laureate Nicolaas Bloembergen in 1963, and joined the department of physics at Berkeley in 1964.
- In the early years, Dr.
- Shen was probably best known for his work on self-focusing and filament propagation of laser beams in materials.
- These fundamental studies enabled the creation of ultrafast supercontinuum light sources.
- In the 1970s and 1980s, he collaborated with Yuan T.
- Lee on the study of multiphoton dissociation of molecular clusters.
- The molecular-beam photofragmentation translational spectroscopy that they developed has clarified much of the initial confusion concerning the dynamics of infrared multiphoton dissociation processes.
- In the 1980s and 1990s, Professor Shen developed various nonlinear optics methods for the study of material surfaces and interfaces.
- Among these techniques, second-harmonic generation and sum frequency generation spectroscopy are best known and now widely used by scientists from various fields.
- He has collaborated with Gabor Somorjai on the use of the technique of Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy to study catalyst surfaces.
- He is the author of the book The Principles of Nonlinear Optics.
- Professor Shen belongs to the prolific J.
- J.
- Thomson academic lineage tree.
- Currently, Professor Shen works in U.
- C.
- Berkeley and Fudan University in Shanghai.
