소개

아서 레너드 숄로(Arthur Leonard Schawlow, 1921년 5월 5일 ~ 1999년 4월 28일)는 미국의 물리학자이다. 레이저 연구로 유명해져 1981년에 노벨 물리학상을 수상했다.

Arthur Leonard Schawlow was an American physicist who, along with Charles Townes, developed the theoretical basis for laser science. His central insight was the use of two mirrors as the resonant cavity to take maser action from microwaves to visible wavelengths. He shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physics with Nicolaas Bloembergen and Kai Siegbahn for his work using lasers to determine atomic energy levels with great precision.
