David Colin Hanna FRS (born 1941)[1] is a British physicist specializing in laser physics and nonlinear optics. He is emeritus professor of physics at the University of Southampton. His research interests include quasi-phase-matched nonlinear materials, optical parametric oscillators, fibre lasers, and X-ray sources based on high harmonic generation.[2] [3]
Hanna was awarded the Max Born Prize in 1993,[4] the European Physical Society Prize for Applied Aspects of Quantum Electronics and Optics in 2000,[5] and the Charles Hard Townes Medal in 2003.[6] Hanna was elected to the Royal Society in 1998.[7]
