F. J. Duarte is a research physicist, with Interferometric Optics, based in Rochester, Western New York. He graduated with First Class Honours in physics from Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia) where he was also awarded a Ph.D. in physics for his research on optically-pumped molecular lasers. He is the author of the generalized multiple-prism dispersion theory, has made various unique contributions to the physics and architecture of tunable laser oscillators, and has pioneered the use of Dirac's notation in classical optics. These contributions have found applications in the design of laser resonators, laser pulse compression, imaging, medicine, spectroscopy, and the nuclear industry. His career history includes appointments with the former Photographic Research Laboratories (Eastman Kodak Company), The University of Alabama, The University of New South Wales, and the US Army Missile Command (as an analyst). He has also held honorary appointments at Macquarie University, The University of New Mexico, and has served on the editorial boards of Applied Optics, Optics & Photonics News, and Optics Letters . Dr. Duarte received the Engineering Excellence Award from the Optical Society of America, is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics, and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America.
