Emil Wolf, a longtime University of Rochester professor whose pioneering theories connected fundamental equations describing electromagnetism to the observable properties of light, has died at age 95.\u00a0He is survived by his son Bruno and daughter Paula and his beloved wife Marlies.<\/p>\n

One of the most recognized optical scientists of his generation, Wolf, the Wilson Professor of Optical Physics at Rochester, was a leading expert in coherence and polarization of optical fields. His Principles of Optics<\/em> (1958)<\/a>, co-written with Nobel laureate Max Born at the University of Edinburgh, is the most cited textbook in physics. His text Optical Coherence and Quantum Optics <\/em>(1995)<\/a> written with fellow giant of optics and paragon of Rochester physics, Len Mandel, is a modern classic, demonstrating the unparalleled longevity and staying power of Wolf\u2019s contributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmil was essential to physics for the past seven decades,\u201d says Dan Watson, professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.<\/a> \u201cThere is no one else with his combination of achievements: he\u2019s the international leader of research and teaching in optics, and directly inspired as many important inventions with his textbooks as with his research.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was an incredible scientist,\u201d says Scott Carney, current director of Rochester\u2019s Institute of Optics<\/a> and a Wolf doctoral student (1999). \u201cBut more remarkably, he was an incredible person.\u00a0He demonstrated his devotion to us, his students, simply by being present and spending time with us every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf was \u201cdeeply committed to equality and justice; the most upset I ever saw him was when he thought a student had been treated unfairly because of race or creed or gender,\u201d says Carney. \u201cHis friendships were deep and life-long. My favorite picture of him was taken with his dear friend Len Mandel, whom Emil recruited to Rochester, on vacation, sitting at the beach together, notebooks out and contemplating together the deep mysteries of the universe.\u00a0 While I\u2019m sure the science was important to him, I am also sure it was just as important to be working with his friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a 2012 Optical Society tribute to Wolf<\/a>, colleagues and former students cited his ability to look at accepted knowledge and come up with exceptional questions and new insights. \u201cFor those of you who have not had the privilege of working with Professor Wolf in a \u2018eureka\u2019 moment, it is like watching a nuclear reactor about to go critical,\u201d wrote Edward Collett, a former collaborator with Wolf.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe other thing that strikes me is that Emil, in spite of the countless accolades he has received over the years, does not take himself too seriously,\u201d added Taco Visser, a former student with Wolf, now a professor of theoretical physics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

Born in 1922, Wolf fled his native Czechoslovakia after Germany occupied the country on the eve of World War II. He earned his PhD in mathematics at Bristol University in England in 1948 and, in addition to working with Max Born at Edinburgh, was a postdoc at Manchester University before joining the Rochester faculty in 1959.<\/p>\n

In Principles of Optics<\/em>, now in its seventh edition, Wolf described the then little-known concept of spatial coherence, central to understanding the soon-to-be-invented laser and was the first to fully explain the concept of Gabor\u2019s holography.\u00a0 The book remains \u201cthe international standard graduate-level textbook in optics, and one of the books most likely to be found on the shelf of a professional physicist,\u201d says Watson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the closely related concepts … appeared so early in textbook form had a formidable impact on science and physical optics engineering,\u201d notes the preface to Tribute to Emil Wolf<\/em> (2004), a book published by the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe volume Born and Wolf wrote is the bible of optics,\u201d says Brian Thompson, emeritus provost and former director of the Institute of Optics, who first met and worked with Wolf in 1955 at Manchester University in England.\u00a0 \u201cHis work has had a huge influence on optics, and on me personally. We have been friends ever since the day we met.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well into his 80s, Wolf remained an active teacher, researcher, editor, author, and, as Christian Brosseau observed, a \u201cliving legend\u201d for Brosseau and other young scientists in the field. \u201cA generation of students have learned the basics of optics thanks in no small part to courses based on Principles of Optic<\/em>s,\u201d wrote Brousseau, now a professor at the Universit\u00e9 de Bretagne Occidentale in France, in the SPIE tribute.<\/p>\n

In recent years Wolf\u2019s research included investigations of inverse scattering, especially diffraction tomography involving random media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking under Emil, I felt less like I was an employee and more like a member of an extended family,\u201d wrote Greg Gbur, a former PhD student in Wolf\u2019s group, now a professor at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Gbur and other students fondly recalled dinners at the Wolf resident with Emil and his wife, Marlies.<\/p>\n

No matter how heated and passionate the discussions among group members became, \u201cEmil always emphasized we would always end them as friends,\u201d Gbur adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt turned out to be the perfect place for me,\u201d wrote John Foley, another former PhD student in Wolf\u2019s group, \u201ca place where physics was serious but fun \u2013 because Emil genuinely cared about this students and always got the best out of us.\u201d Foley is a professor emeritus at Mississippi State University.<\/p>\n

Wolf later recalled how a letter inviting him to join the Rochester faculty, from Robert Hopkins, then director of the Institute of Optics, had been misplaced by a secretary. Wolf found it among some misplaced proofs of Principles of Optics<\/em> \u2013 just in time to meet Hopkins, who was visiting England at the time. \u201cI have often wondered what my future would have been had I not found his letter in the cupboard . . . at Manchester University.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wolf was the recipient of the Frederic Ives Medal of the Optical Society of America (OSA) (1978), the Michelson Medal of the Franklin Institute (1980), the Max Born Award of the OSA (1987), the Marconi Medal of the Italian National Research Council (1987), the Gold Medal of the Czechoslovak Academy of Science (1991), the Medal of the Union of Czechoslovak Mathematicians and Physicists (1991), the Gold Medal of Palacky University, Olomouc, Czechoslovakia (1991), the Esther Hoffman Beller Award for Outstanding Contributions to Optical Science and Engineering Education of the OSA (2002), and a Faculty Lifetime Achievement Award at the University of Rochester (2009).<\/p>\n

He was an honorary member of the OSA, of which he was the president in 1978. Wolf was able to attend the Optical Alumni Network Reception during OSA FiO 100th<\/sup> Anniversary Celebration at Rochester in September. The Institute of Optics and the Department of Physics and Astronomy announced the newly established Emil Wolf Graduate Fellowship, and unveiled an oil painting of Emil Wolf that will hang in a conference room at the Institute of Optics.<\/p>\n

He was also an honorary member of the Optical Societies of India and Australia, the Czech Learned Society and the Romanian Academy of Science and Humanities, and was the recipient of honorary degrees from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands (1989), the University of Edinburgh (1990), Palacky University (1992), the University of Bristol (1997), Laval University, Quebec (1997), the University of Franche Comte, France (1999) and Aalborg University, Denmark (1999).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
