of the National
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Marat Samuilovich
Soskin celebrates the 90th anniversary of his birth on
April 8, 2019.
Among new fascinating successes in optics in recent
years, the origin of Singular Optics is related to the name
of Marat Soskin, an outstanding Ukrainian scientist in the
field of laser physics, optical quantum electronics,
holography and singular optics.
Marat Samuilovich Soskin started his “life in
science” in 1956. He entered the graduate school at the
Institute of Physics under supervising of Academician
A.F. Prikhotko. The subject of scientific research, which
became the first one for M.S. Soskin, was associated with
molecular crystals, for which the theory of molecular
excitons had already appeared, but lacked experimental
research. A.F. Prikhotko commissioned to him studying
the spectra of naphthalene. These spectral measurements
had to be carried out with exceptional precision, taking
into account the hardware function of the devices. As a
result, the exact forms of low-temperature absorption
bands of naphthalene crystals were determined.
Performed before the beginning of laser optics (1960 –
1961), these results became an important confirmation
of the theory of excitons and entered into the monograph
on the exciton properties of molecular crystals.
1961 became the beginning of a new stage in the
development of optics, with the appearance of the first
publications on quantum electronics. It became obviously
necessary to develop in this direction, which realized in
an attempt to create lasers with a variable wavelength of
radiation. In order to work for this problem, an initiative
group was formed, which in 1961 published the first
article with the justification of the possibility of
generating in the four-level scheme involving electron-
vibrational levels. The idea of tuning the optical
frequency of generation was successfully implemented in
1963 in the world's first dispersion cavity with a prism.
Further development of laser physics in the created
department of optical quantum electronics, headed by
M.S. Soskin since 1966, was aimed at several broad
topics. From the direct laser physics, the interests went to
the use of lasers for various tasks, including the so-called
dynamic holography, a process where the registration and
readout of holograms take place simultaneously. Also,
holography became the basis for formation of a new
subdivision of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, the
International Center "Institute of Applied Optics".
Thanks to M. Soskin's authority and bright
achievements, young enthusiastic disciples were attracted
to the work in the department, and later they became new
experienced fellows in optical researches covering
physics of liquid crystals, the effects of bistability and
spatial solitons, semiconductor lasers with holographic
elements based on dichromatic gelatin, recording the
periodic structures by using pulsed lasers, and so on.
In the 90’s M.S. Soskin was interested in studies of
the "optical vortices" and after his suggestion
V.Yu. Bazhenov calculated and implemented (for the
first time in the world) synthesized holograms, which
enabled generation of laser beams with optical vortices.
Then the main characteristics of optical vortices were
studied, and the method for their measurement was
developed, the second harmonic was obtained in
interaction of a vortex beam with a nonlinear crystal,
which initiated a nonlinear aspect of the problem. These
first publications received over 700 citations. In the
conversation with Prof. Emil Wolf in Rochester at 2000
they agreed to publish a chapter in Progress in Optics
devoted to this new direction which attained the name
"Singular Optics." This chapter soon became a
“bestseller”.
In 2000, M.S. Soskin along with M.V. Vasnetsov
received the A.F. Prikhotko prize of the National
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine for a series of works
"Formation of dislocations of wave fronts in the passage
of light through crystals". The next step was to work in
the direction of polarization (vector) singular optics that
extends to the present time. In collaboration with Prof.
Isaak Freund, polarization singularities were studied in
details.
Recognition of M.S. Soskin scientific merits resulted
in a prestigious award in 2009, the prize of the
International Commission on Optics and the "Galileo
Galilei" medal.
Colleagues, disciples and friends of M.S. Soskin
sincerely wish the jubilee a solid health, creative
inspiration, happiness and new successes.
