Light, lasers, and leaves: Australian Institute of Physics photography prize awarded to Jayne Ion
Photography Prize awarded to Jayne Ion, professional photographer
“Laser Cavities for Quantum Science”
A laser cavity is an enclosed space with mirrors that can control the resonant frequency of the light beam, causing constructive interference and standing waves.
This technology is used in a variety of physics applications from spectroscopy to quantum computing.
The Second Prize was awarded to Jayne Ion of iONcreative photography, contracted by the University of Sydney School of Physics to undertake the photography in celebration of the School’s 100th Anniversary and research achievements.
