(James) Roy Taylor (born 1949) [4] [2] FREng [6] FRS [7] is Professor of Ultrafast Physics and Technology at Imperial College London. [8] [9] [1]
Education
Larne Grammar School. Taylor was educated at Queen's University Belfast where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1971 [2] followed by a PhD in laser physics in 1974 for research supervised by Daniel Joseph Bradley. [3] [5]
Research and career
Taylor is widely acknowledged for his influential basic research on and development of diverse lasers systems and their application. [7] He has contributed extensively to advances in picosecond and femtosecond dye laser technology, compact diode-laser and fibre-laser-pumped vibronic lasers and their wide-ranging application to fundamental studies, such as time resolved photophysics of resonant energy transfer and relaxation pathways of biological probes and organic field-effect transistors. [7]
Taylor is particularly noted for his fundamental studies of ultrafast nonlinear optics in fibres, with emphasis on solitons, [10] their amplification, the role of noise and self-effects, such as Raman gain. Through his integration of seeded, high-power fibre amplifiers and passive fibre he has demonstrated far-reaching versatility in pulse duration, repetition rate and spectral coverage. [7] He contributed extensively to the development of high power supercontinuum or “white light” sources, [11] [12] which have been a scientific and commercial success. [7] [13]
Awards and honours
Taylor's work has been recognized by the Ernst Abbe Award of the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1990, [2] the Young Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics (IOP) in 2007, the Rumford Medal from the Royal Society in 2012 [7] and the Faraday Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics in 2019. [14]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017. [7]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2022. [6]
