James Roy Taylor (born 1949)[4][2] is an English physicist who is Professor of Ultrafast Physics and Technology at Imperial College London.[6][7][1]

Education

[edit]

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

[edit]

Taylor is widely acknowledged for his influential basic research on and development of diverse lasers systems and their application.[8] 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.[8]

Taylor is particularly noted for his fundamental studies of ultrafast nonlinear optics in fibres, with emphasis on solitons,[9] 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.[8] He contributed extensively to the development of high power supercontinuum or “white light” sources,[10][11] which have been a scientific and commercial success.[8][12]

Awards and honours

[edit]

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[8] and the Faraday Medal and Prize of the Institute of Physics in 2019.[13]

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2017.[8]

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 2022.[14]
