Erich P. Ippen is a principal investigator in the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[2] He holds appointments as the Elihu Thomson Professor of Electrical Engineering Emeritus and Professor of Physics Emeritus. He is one of the leaders of RLE’s Optics and Quantum Electronics Group.[3]
Ippen was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1985 for pioneering contributions to nonlinear optics in optical waveguides and ultrashort-optical-pulse-generation techniques. In 1989 he was also elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society "for his pioneering work in the generation, measurement, and application to physical systems of picosecond and femtosecond light pulses" [4] Professor Ippen is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 1997 he was awarded the Arthur L. Schawlow Prize in Laser Science.[5] He was president of the Optical Society of America in 2000.[6] In 2004, he received the Charles Hard Townes Award[7] and in 2006 the Frederic Ives Medal.[8]
