Established in memory of Vladilen Letokhov (1939-2009), former Vice-Director of the Institute of Spectroscopy of the Russian Academy of Sciences and pioneer in several fields of laser physics, the Letokhov Medal aims at recognizing outstanding contributions in laser-matter interaction, in particular spectroscopy of atoms and molecules, laser manipulation of atoms, and strong field processes. The prize consists of a medal, a certificate and a monetary award of 5000 euros. The medal will be presented every odd year at a major conference alternatively sponsored by the Quantum Electronics and Optics Division and the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Division of the EPS. In 2019, it will be awarded at the 13th European Conference on Atoms, Molecules and Photons (ECAMP).
Details of the application procedure and information required are given below.
Nominations are to be received on line by December 15th, 2018.
The medal will be awarded without restriction of nationality of the recipient. The award shall be preferentially awarded to a single person.
