An optical physicist whose work connects ultrafast lasers with scientific instruments and optical manufacturing. Accounts of Gérard Mourou's laboratory identify him with laser development and later work in micromachining and waveguide optics. These applications use concentrated optical energy to modify materials and create structures that guide light.^[ref][ref]

An experimental optical physicist whose work concerns fast optical and electronic measurements. The University of Michigan's account of Gérard Mourou's laboratory associates him with fast measurement instrumentation. Such instruments connect an ultrashort optical pulse to an electrical response, making time resolution of the detector and sampling method part of the physical measurement.^[ref]
