2. Leadership in the field of ultrafast intense laser science

2.1.1 Leading and/or pioneering research in intense laser ionization

- S.L. Chin was the first to confirm experimentally the existence of laser tunnel ionization of atoms with a CO 2 laser (S. L. Chin, et al, J. Phys. B:At. Mol. Phys. 18, L213, 1985). For 20 years before this, such tunnel ionization was considered by many to be an impossible or erroneous physical process. This was a breakthrough; tunnel ionization became a gateway process in understanding all ultrafast intense laser processes in atoms and molecules including generating high order harmonic & attosecond pulses.- First observation of suppressed ionization of molecules using femtosecond intense Ti-sapphire laser.- First confirmation of charge-resonance-enhanced-ionization in molecules.- Pioneering experiments showing inner valence/shell electron ejection by femtosecond laser pulses.- First observation of the signature of the universal phenomenon of population trapping in an atom through multiphoton dynamic resonance with the Rydberg states and interference stabilization using an intense femtosecond Ti-sapphire laser. The experimental signature has escaped observation in the past 30 years. - First observation of non-sequential multiple electrons emission from atoms and molecules. - First observation of high order harmonic generation in molecules.

2.1.2 Leading research in the propagation and filamentation of ultrafast intense laser pulses in optical media

S.L. Chin is among the leading scientists to advance the fundamental understanding of filamentation of intense femtosecond laser pulses which self-transform into white light laser pulses (supercontinuum) in an optical medium. Many key phenomena of filamentation were either observed, discovered, explained or confirmed by Prof. Chin and his collaborators. These include plasma generation stopping self-focusing, intensity clamping, background reservoir, the absence of breakdown in gases and self-spatial filtering. They also developed the key concept of slice-by-slice self-focusing.

New phenomena due to filamentation in gases were observed. These include the generation of electromagnetic pulses in the low frequency region (radio wave and THz) and self-group-phase locking. The latter results in the efficient third harmonic generation. Self-group-phase-locking led us to discover efficient four-wave-mixing inside a filament resulting in tunable and self-compressed visible few cycle pulses with near perfect spatial quality. Because of intensity clamping, self-stabilization of the energy inside the filament core leads to the stabilization of the third hamonics and four-wave-mixing pulses.

Multiple filamentation and their competition were observed and their regularization proposed. Long range filamentation together with the generation of third harmonics in air was demonstrated. Fluorescence without plasma background from gas molecules inside the filament in air was observed; hence, ‘clean’ fluorescence. The fluorescence of nitrogen in air has ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) type of gain inside the filament. Lasing in the sky was thus first observed and proposed.

In the case of condensed matter, they discovered the bandgap dependence of the supercontinuum, observed and explained melting of glass during filamentation, densification in glass and consequently, the control of wave guide writing in glasses.

The good qualities of filamentation (self-stabilization, intensity clamping, self-spatial filtering, self-compression, self-group-phase-locking, self-transportation at high intensity to long distances in air, low plasma density, etc.) would have a profound impact on applications some of which were already demonstrated by S. L. Chin and his group; e.g. third harmonic generation, four-wave-mixing and clean fluorescence. This would become a new front in the field. S.L. Chin calls this ‘filamentation nonlinear optics’.

Since 2008, a new phenomenon was observed internationally which he called ‘ultrafast birefringence’ inside the linearly polarized filaments in gases. A linearly polarized probe pulse would become elliptically polarized while propagating together with the pump pulse. If the probe pulse is delayed with respect to the pump pulse in air, polarization separation of the probe as well as revival of molecular rotational wave packets (N2 and O2) were observed by SL Chin and co-workers.

2.1.3 Leading research in detecting chemical and biological molecules inside femtosecond laser induced filament in air

4

Armed with the knowledge of filamentation and his extensive experience in multiphoton/tunnel ionization, S.L. Chin demonstrated that all molecules would be ionized and fragmented inside the filament (of the 800nm Ti-sapphire laser pulse) in air and some fragments would emit finger print fluorescence. Indeed, he and his group found that all of the molecules they have studied so far (some di-atomics, some halocarbons, some hydrocarbons, ethanol and even bio-molecules such as egg white and yeast) emit distinctive ‘finger print’ fluorescence spectra. They were able to measure the back scattered fluorescence signal from some of these molecules at a distance of about 20-100m and extrapolated the results to 1 or more km. Thus, it is feasible to remotely detect chemical and biological agents in air using only one laser.

2.1.4 Population trapping in molecules

The first discovery of population trapping in atoms by SL Chin and his group was in the mid-1990’s. This phenomenon recently emerged from inside filaments in air and other molecules. It was again SL Chin who pioneered the measurement/observation of population trapping in air and other molecules. The universality has influenced the fundamental understanding of filamentation physics. It also found application in the remote detection of THz pulses (see below).

2.1.5 Super-excited states of molecules

Super-excited states used to be studied by chemists using synchrotron radiation in the XUV. SL Chin’s group was the first to discover that inside the filament, molecules are not only ionized but could be excited into the super-excited states through multiphoton absorption and population trapping. Such super-excited states would decay into, among others, neutral fluorescing fragments. The fluorescence from pollutant molecules mostly arise from such super-excited states. For the first time SL Chin and co-workers were able to measure the very short life time of the super-excited states of several molecules: O2, CH4, H2, NO, C2H2. They are all in the range between 100 to 250 fs.

2.1.6 Generation of tunable few cycle pulses through four wave mixing

S.L. Chin proposed that all parametric processes would be very efficient inside a filament because of the inherent self-group-phase locking by the filamenting pulse. He and his collaborators demonstrated this idea. During four-wave-mixing between an infrared laser pulse and the 800nm filamenting pulse, tunable few cycle pulses in the visible can be generated efficiently through ω4MW = 2ωP – ωir where ω4WM indicates the new frequency, ωP, the frequency of the pump at 800nm and ωir, the infrared pulse. A patent of invention on this technique was obtained recently. This idea could be extrapolated to the generation of pulses at any wavelength from the radio frequency to the UV. So far, IR, UV and THz pulses were generated.

2.1.7 Terahertz pulse generation in filaments in air

- Demonstration of remote generation of terahertz (THz) pulses from inside a remotely generated filament.- Discovered that trapped Rydberg states of nitrogen molecules inside a filament in air can be used to indirectly

detect THz pulses from a distance. The THz pulse simply ionize the trapped Rydberg states of nitrogen molecules thus enhancing the fluorescence.

2.1.8 Lasing in air

- S. L. Chin and his group discovered lasing action in an air filament. Recently, there was a surge of interest in this problem in the filamentation community. Many new lasing observation in air were reported. Prof. Chin again led the way to demonstrate the generality of this lasing action. He and his collaborators observed and explained the generality of the physics of this type of lasing of molecules in the strong field inside the filament. This includes lasing by hydrocarbon molecules, water molecules, etc. all through super-excitation.

2.1.9 Artificial snow/rain making

- S. L. Chin and his collaborators in China (The Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics) have been working together successfully since three years ago on a new research theme; i.e. filament induced precipitation or rain fall. They discovered recently snow/rain fall (precipitation) inside a cloud chamber using filamentation technique. The leaders of this new activity of research were an European group. But the latter could observe only condensation (cloud formation) in a cloud chamber; i.e. no precipitation. The key reasons for the success of S L

5

Chin and his collaborators in China in observing snow/rain fall are due to the high repetition rate of the laser beam that sustains strong turbulence induced by the filament. The turbulence in turn gives rise to precipitation.

2.2 Invitations to present conferences and seminars

S.L. Chin was invited to present more than 210 talks in the past 12 years at national and international conferences as well as in various institutions in many countries. These countries include Canada, Germany, USA, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Austria, Korea, Japan, Russia, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Egypt, UK, Singapore.

5. Major administrative experience and achievements

S.L. Chin was the director of the Laboratory for Research in Optics and Lasers (LROL) of Université Laval from October 1981 to August 1987.

The LROL was officially recognized as a center of excellence in optics at Université Laval by both the Council of the University and by the Québec Ministry of Education in 1971. When he became director, the LROL was at its lowest point. Funding was uncertain, the number of full time graduate students was down to less than ten and the morale was very low. His challenge was to provide strong leadership so as to correct all these setbacks.

By analyzing the situation and LROL’s excellent track record, and by applying qualitatively his theory of encouragement vs productivity, S.L. Chin took different actions that stimulated everyone inside and outside LROL, Université Laval management, the National Research Council of Canada, many local, provincial and federal politicians and business and industrial people. In particular, through his vision that optical science and technology would become very important in the 21st century and through his persistent work, he succeeded in persuading the National Research Council to set up a National Optics Institute in Quebec City with the concerted support of Université Laval, Quebec City’s economic and industrial leaders and the Provincial government. He also constantly encouraged the students at LROL to start their own businesses and invited many high-tech entrepreneurs in optics and laser companies to give talks at LROL telling students about their experience in starting their companies. The following major consequences and events resulted:

1) Signature of an official agreement of scientific exchange between LROL and the National Research Council of Canada (May 1983). LROL won the right to freely use NRC’s optical workshop to fabricate commercially non-available optical components from 1983 till 1988, one year after S.L. Chin’s term as the Director of LROL. This was equivalent to an in-kind grant whose value totalled more than $300,000.

2) Creation of the Québec Chapter of the Optical Society of America, the first of its kind outside the U.S. (September 1983).

7

3) Official announcement in 1983 that the National Research Council of Canada and Laval University (via the LROL) will host the 1987 Triannual Congress of the International Commission of Optics (a member society of I.U.P.A.P.) with S.L. Chin as chairman of the organizing committee.

4) In 1984, he was the co-chair of the Québec International Symposium on Optical Engineering organized by SPIE (an International Optical Engineering Society) between 2-6 June 1986.

5) June 1984, official announcement of the creation of a National Institute of Optics of N.R.C. in Québec City. The mission of the Institute is to act as an interface between university research and industries, and to help industries in the domain of optical and laser technology. The whole project was initiated by S.L. Chin who was later appointed to an N.R.C. task force that undertook a cross-Canada consultation and recommended the creation of the Institute.

6) The total LROL budget (grants and contracts both personal and collective) was about $ 1.5 millions a year when S.L. Chin left office in August 1987 compared to $600,000 when he took office in 1981.

7) In September 1985, the LROL was selected, through a rigourous competitive process, by the Québec Government as one of a handful of centers of excellence to develop some specific subjects of national importance under the long term program (10 years) of "l'Action structurante". A five (5) year grant of $ 1.5 million dollars was awarded to LROL to develop optical technology.

8) Creation of two new small optics firms by former students of LROL through collaboration with LROL in 1984-1985 (Exfo Inc. and Holospectra Inc.).

9) Graduate student enrolment in LROL: 50 (September 1987). (90% of the new applicants for graduate studies in physics starting in the fall of 1986 expressed their desire to work in LROL.)

10) September 1987, LROL is the largest research centre in its field among Canadian universities: 14 professors; 10 post-doctoral research associates; 50 graduate students; 11 supporting staff (technicians and secretaries).

11) In 1984, planning begun for the creation of a Ph.D. degree in Optics and for a program in optical engineering at Université Laval. (These measures were finally aborted unfortunately.)

Consequence: (September 1987, end of S.L. Chin’s second and last term as director). At LROL, the morale was high, funding was excellent, student enrolment increased, many pure and applied projects were successful. In the Québec City region, the National Institute of Optics started operation. Government and industrial people in the region enthusiastically promote the development of optical industries. Whenever one talked about optics and laser in Canada, one would certainly think of LROL. LROL was since transformed into COPL (Center for Optics Photonics and Lasers) in 1990 by including the optics and quantum electronics group in the electrical engineering department of Université Laval. Recently, it became a provincial inter-university center.

6. Publications (see full publication list beginning on page 10)

The experimental results published by S.L. Chin’s laboratory went into the basis of simulations and theoretical studies in several theory groups in Germany, Russia and the US. Several of these publications are used as experimental examples in courses taught to undergraduate students at Moscow State University and St. Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, Russia, according to Prof. V P Kandidov of Moscow State University.

S.L. Chin has written 3 monographs, the latest one (2010) being the subject of his current field of research, namely intense femtosecond laser science. One of the three monographs is a philosophical novel in Chinese. He is a co-editor of the new series of books published by Springer on the interdisciplinary subject of ultrafast intense laser science in its chemical physics series. He also co-edited two other books in laser physics.

All work (except the novel) was funded by the following major sources: CFI, CRC, NSERC, DRDC-Valcartier and CIPI.

In most of the work, the idea came from S.L. Chin. He followed closely the progress of each project, carrying out discussions with and giving advice to everyone in his group. Non-student co-authors are mostly theoreticians whose expertise complements that of the professor’s experimental group. Journals were chosen because of their quality and because many of the work in the same field are published in them.
