I was born in Mount Vernon, New York, U.S.A. on May 5, 1921. My father had come from Europe a decade earlier. He left his home in Riga to study electrical engineering at Darmstadt, but arrived too late for the beginning of the term. Therefore, he went on to visit his brother in New York, and never returned either to Europe or to electrical engineering. My mother was a Canadian and, at her urging, the family moved to Toronto in 1924. I attended public schools there, Winchester elementary school, the Normal Model School attached to the teacher's college, and Vaughan Road Collegiate Institute (high school). As a boy, I was always interested in scientific things, electrical, mechanical or astronomical, and read nearly everything that the library could provide on these subjects. I intended to try to go to the University of Toronto to study radio engineering, and my parents encouraged me. Unfortunately my high school years, 1932 to 1937, were in the deepest part of the great economic depression. My father's salary as one of the many agents for a large insurance company could not cover the cost of a college education for my sister, Rosemary, and me. Indeed, at that time few high school graduates continued their education. Only three or four out of our high school class of sixty or so students were able to go to a unversity.

DESIGNER: PHOTO TO RUN WITH THIS IS IN PAW.SYS WEDNESDAY FOTO FOLDER Publication Date: Wednesday May 5, 1999 Arthur L. Schawlow, Stanford Nobel laureate and laser pioneer Arthur Schawlow, emeritus professor of physics at Stanford University, pioneering laser scientist and winner of the Nobel Prize for physics in 1981, died April 28 after a long battle with leukemia. He was 77. Schawlow and microwave expert Charles Towne published key findings in 1957 that led to the construction of the first working laser and received a patent on their work in 1960. The commercial laser has numerous applications today, including surgical uses, surveying and consumer applications, like CD players. Schawlow was born in Mount Vernon, N.Y. Having a natural gift for science, he won a scholarship to study radio engineering at the University of Toronto. He continued his studies on a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University, where he worked with Townes, who had developed a way to amplify microwave energy. The two scientists were trying to amplify light in the same way when Schawlow came upon the idea of a long chamber with a mirror at each end, a design that was key to further laser development. In 1961, he joined the physics department at Stanford, where he continued his research. He won the Nobel Prize for his contributions to the field of laser spectroscopy, which is the study of how materials react when hit with laser energy.

Other Nobel Winners at Bell Labs Four scientists received the Nobel Prize in Physics who once worked at Bell Labs: Sir Harold Kroto of the University of Sussex, shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Rice University professors Richard Smalley and Robert Curl, who in 1985 discovered the forms of carbon now known as buckminsterfullerenes, fullerenes, or just "buckyballs." Kroto had a one-year postdoctoral assignment at Bell Labs in 1966-67, before he did his Nobel-winning work. Douglas C. Osheroff , a Bell Labs researcher for 15 years, shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for work he did at Cornell University as a graduate student on the behavior of helium at extremely low temperatures. Arthur L. Schawlow received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "contribution to the development of laser spectroscopy." Schawlow invented the laser with Charles H. Townes while at Bell Labs in 1958. Charles H. Townes shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with A. Prokhorov and N. Basov of the Lebedev Institute in Moscow for "fundamental work in the field of quantun electronics which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle." Townes invented the laser with Arthur L. Schawlow while a consultant at Bell Labs in 1958. Privacy statement Agere

Townes Picture by Tom McDonough, The Planetary Society, 1993 Abstract When, in early 1961, interstellar communication with lasers was first discussed, it was met with interest but not enthusiasm. The scientific community was thinking of laser powers in the kilowatt range (which had not yet been actually achieved) and telescopes of maximum diameter 200 inches. Now there are lasers of average power 10 watts, pulsed power 10 watts, and telescopes of diameter 10 meters. Just what technology an advanced extrasolar civilization would have is still debatable, but on earth communication with lasers is growing rapidly and now "Optical SETI" seems to many a likely prospect. In addition to increased power and variety of lasers, with expectation of further growth, the easy use of short pulses alleviates the need for high spectral resolution required by CW laser communication, and gives high signal to noise ratios. Such changes in our own technology and views over only a few decades obviously stimulate open-mindedness about the state of technical developments and communication in any external civilization. And what are the resulting speculations?

Schawlow, died April 28 at age 77 in Palo Alto, Calif. Schawlow worked with Charles H. Townes in the 1950s on a device that evolved into a laser. The pair collaborated at Columbia University in New York, where they initially gained recognition for work on the maser, a microwave predecessor of the laser. Their goal was to invent a device that would amplify light the way a maser amplified microwaves. When they published their findings in 1957, the work sparked an international race to build the first working laser, a feat accomplished in 1960 by Theodore H. Maiman in Malibu, Calif. During his career, Schawlow worked at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, where he studied superconductivity, and worked on laser and microwave spectroscopy at Stanford University. In the years that followed, he and Townes would each win a Nobel award. Schawlow shared a Nobel Prize in 1981 with Nicolaas Bloembergen of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass., for contributions to laser spectroscopy.

WHAT FRONTLINE DIDN'T TELL YOU IS FACILITATED COMMUNICATION REAL? Arthur L. Schawlow Arthur L. Schawlow is the Jackson-Wood Professor of Physics emeritus at Stanford University. He received a Nobel Prize in 1981 and the President's National Medal of Science in 1991. He has also received seven honorary doctorates, from universities in six countries. Although this method has been found independently in several places over the last twenty years, including by my late wife Aurelia and myself, it became widely known only during the last few years, mainly through the work of Rosemary Crossley in Australia, Douglas Biklen at the University of Syracuse and Carol Berger of Eugene, Oregon. Many people are using it now, and the results have often been spectacular. To give just one instance, David Eastham in Canada wrote a book of poetry which was published and translated into French. He graduated from junior college before his untimely death, and Margaret Eastham has detailed his accomplishments in the biography Silent Words.
