Alfred Kastler (French: [kastlɛʁ]; 3 May 1902 – 7 January 1984) was a French physicist, and Nobel Prize laureate. Kastler
was born in Guebwiller (Alsace, German Empire) and later attended the Lycée Bartholdi in Colmar, Alsace, and École Normale Supérieure in
Paris in 1921. After his studies, in 1926 he began teaching physics at the Lycée of Mulhouse, and then taught at the University of Bordeaux,
where he was a university professor until 1941. Georges Bruhat asked him to
come back to the École Normale Supérieure, where he finally obtained a chair in
1952. Collaborating with Jean Brossel, he researched quantum mechanics, the interaction Kastler,
working on combination of optical resonance and magnetic resonance,
developed the technique of "optical pumping". Those works led to the completion of
the theory of lasers and masers.
He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in
1966 "for the discovery and development of optical methods for studying
Hertzian resonances in atoms". He was president of the board of the
Institut d'optique théorique et appliquée and served as the first chairman Against Hunger. Kastler
also wrote poetry (in German). In 1971 he published Europe, ma patrie:
Deutsche Lieder eines französischen Europäers (i.e. Europe, my
fatherland: German songs of a French European). In 1978 he became foreign
member of the Royal
Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. In
1979, Kastler was awarded the Wilhelm Exner Medal. Professor
Kastler spent most of his research career at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in
Paris where he started after the war with his student, Jean Brossel a small
research group on spectroscopy. Over the forty years that followed, this group
has trained many of young physicists and had a significant impact on the
development of the science of atomic physics in France. The Laboratoire de Spectroscopie hertzienne has then
been 1994 and has got a part of its laboratory
in Université Pierre et Marie
Curie mainly at the École Normale Supérieure. Professor
Kastler died on 7 January 1984, in Bandol, France.
