Townes, Charles Hard (1915- )
American physicist at the University of California, Berkeley , who developed the maser in the 1950s and won a Nobel Prize for this work in 1964. He was a pioneer in microwave and infrared astronomy and led the team at Berkeley which, in 1968, discovered water and ammonia molecules in interstellar space. Townes has a long-standing interest in the possibly of optical SETI and while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the early 1960s was the first, together with R. N. Schwarz, to suggest the possibility of using lasers for interstellar communication. He is presently involved in a project, funded by the Planetary Society , to search for artificial laser pulses coming from a variety of sources, including nearby stars, globular clusters , and external galaxies.

100 Nobel Laureates Warn Our Planet OSLO, Norway December 7, 2001 At the Nobel Peace Prize
Centennial Symposium here yesterday celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Nobel prize, 100 Nobel laureates have issued a brief but dire warning of the "profound dangers" facing the world. Their statement predicts that our security depends on immediate environmental and social reform. The following is the text of their statement: THE STATEMENT The most profound danger to world peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed. Of these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal existence in equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate and manifestly unjust. It cannot be expected, therefore, that in all cases they will be content to await the beneficence of the rich. If then we permit the devastating power of modern weaponry to spread through this combustible human landscape, we invite a conflagration that can engulf both rich and poor. The only hope for the future lies in co-operative international action, legitimized by

Charles Hard Townes
was born in Greenville, South Carolina, on 28 July 1915. He attended the Greenville public schools and then Furman University from which he received the Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and the Bachelor of Arts degree in Modern Languages. He was graduated summa cum laude in 1935. A year later he completed work for the Master of Arts degree in Physics at Duke University. He then entered graduate school at the California Institute of Technology, where he received the Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1939. Townes was a member of the technical staff of the Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1939 to 1947. He worked extensively during World War II on the design of radar bombing systems. From this he turned to the field of the microwave spectroscope which he foresaw both as a powerful new tool for the study of the structure of atoms and molecules and as a potential new basis for controlling electromagnetic waves. He was appointed to the faculty of Columbia University in 1948. He continued research in microwave physics and in 1951 be conceived the idea of the maser. In early 1954, the first amplification and generation of electromagnetic waves by stimulated emission were obtained. Townes and his students coined the word "maser" for this device, which is an acronym for microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

Townes, Charles (1915-)

American physicist who invented the maser at Columbia University in 1953 (Gordon et al. 1954). This device, when pumped with a weak microwave beam, produced a cascade of transitions in ammonia molecules, reinforcing the beam. He called the device " maser " as an acronym for "microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." This device was the forerunner of the laser invented by Maiman in 1960. Townes shared the 1964 Nobel prize in physics. Maiman

    Convergence of Scientific and Religious Thought
    A Special Presentation by Professor Charles H. Townes
    Thursday, Oct 14, 1999, 7 pm, Rudder 601
    Laser physics and quantum electronics are only part of Professor Townes' scientific endeavors. Recently he led a research team which demonstrated the existence of a large black hole at the center of our galaxy. In addition to his revolutionary contributions to science and technology, Professor Townes has served in administrative capacities throughout the government and as Provost of MIT. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of Southeastern Seminary. Professor Charles Townes is one of the most brilliant scholars of the 20th Century and has earned a distinguished reputation for being hard working, honest, and forthright. Professor Townes is a committed Christian and a deep thinker who will share with us his thoughts on ways in which scientific and religious thinking are converging at the threshold of the 21st Century. His presentation will begin at 7 pm on Thursday, October 14, 1999 in Rudder 601.

... Online Higher Education Comment Card How the Laser Happened Adventures of a Scientist CHARLES H. TOWNES written for a broad audience In How the Laser Happened , Nobel laureate Charles Townes provides a highly personal look at some of the leading events in twentieth-century physics. Townes was inventor of the maser, of which the laser is one example; an originator of spectroscopy using microwaves; and a pioneer in the study of gas clouds in galaxies and around stars. Throughout his career he has also been deeply engaged with issues outside of academic research. He worked on applied research projects for Bell Labs; served on the board of directors for General Motors; and devoted extensive effort to advising the government on science, policy, and defense. This memoir traces his multifaceted career from its beginnings on the family farm in South Carolina. Spanning decades of ground-breaking research, the book provides a hands-on description of how working scientists and inventors get their ideas. It also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific community, showing how scientists respond to new ideas and how they approach a variety of issues, from priority and patents to the social and political implications of their work. In addition, Townes touches on the sociology of science, uncovering some of the traditions and values that are invisible to an outsider.

"How the Laser Happened The Interaction Between Science and Engineering" ABSTRACT The initiation and development of the laser typifies many scientific and technical breakthroughs with unpredictability, doubts, successive ideas and enlargement of the field, important interactions between science and engineering, and the sociology of science and technology, including, for example, the mutual stimulation of colleagues. The laser story will be discussed in some detail, with emphasis on its illustration of how science and technology develop and how such developments may be best encouraged SPEAKER Charles H. Townes was born in Greenville, S.C. He received a B.A. and a B.S. from Furman University, an M.A. from Duke University and his Ph.D. degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology. In 1939 he joined Bell Labs on West Street in N.Y.C. During World War II he worked on radar bombing systems. In 1948 he joined the faculty of Columbia University and three years later had the idea that culminated in construction of the MASER. While serving as a consultant to Bell Labs, he began working on the principles of a device the laser that could operate at wavelengths a thousand times shorter than the maser. From 1959 to 1961 Charles Townes served as vice president and director of research of the Institute for Defense Analysis in Washington, D.C. He then was appointed provost and professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is currently University Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at the University of California at Berkeley.
