Bio
Francisco Javier Duarte was born in Santiago de Chile. He studied mathematics and physics at Macquarie University where he was a student of the quantum physicist J C Ward. At Macquarie, he was the first to graduate with First Class Honours in Physics. The title of his Honours thesis was 'Excitation Processes in Continuous Wave Rare Gas-Metal Halide Vapour Lasers.' Also at Macquarie, he completed the research for his PhD on optically-pumped molecular lasers under the supervision of J A Piper. He then became a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New South Wales, where he built UV tunable lasers for high-resolution IR-UV double-resonance spectroscopy.
Duarte has contributed extensively to the theory, physics, and technology of narrow-linewidth tunable lasers. In addition to the introduction of several intracavity multiple-prism grating (MPG) configurations he is the author of the generalized multiple-prism grating dispersion theory (1982) which is also applicable to laser pulse compression. At the Eastman Kodak Company (1985-2006) Duarte pioneered the use quantum based techniques in industrial imaging (1987). In particular, he invented the N-slit laser interferometer, based on extremely elongated laser beams (up to 3000:1) for microscopy and imaging applications, and described its physics (for single photons or ensembles of indistinguishable photons) utilizing Dirac's quantum notation (1991). Working with R O James, he introduced polymer-nanoparticle gain media to tunable lasers (2003) and led the team that first demonstrated coherent emission from electrically-pumped organic semiconductors (2005). More recently his attention has focused on quantum optics and the fundamentals of quantum entanglement.
In addition to his industrial career, Duarte has held various research posts in the academic and defense sectors. In the 1987-1992 period he actively participated in the organization of the International Conference on Lasers which became the main exposition venue for high-power laser development and SDI related research. In the area of directed energy he and colleagues demonstrated high-power tunable narrow-linewidth MPG carbon-dioxide lasers (1984), tunable long-pulse single-longitudinal-mode MPG lasers (1987), and ruggedized field-deployable tunable single-longitudinal-mode MPG lasers (1991).
Duarte is editor/author of 16 scholarly books including Dye Laser Principles (1990), High-Power Dye Lasers (1991), Tunable Laser Applications (1995, 2009, 2016), and Tunable Lasers Handbook (1995). He is co-author of Quantum Entanglement Engineering and Applications (2021) and sole author of Tunable Laser Optics (2003, 2015), Quantum Optics for Engineers (2014), and Fundamentals of Quantum Entanglement (2019, 2022).
Duarte's contributions have found applications in numerous scientific fields including: atomic physics, astronomy, chemistry, coherence, cytology, electrophoresis, femtosecond laser microscopy, geodesics, geophysics, gravitational lensing, heat transfer, imaging, laser isotope separation, laser medicine, laser pulse compression, laser spectroscopy, mathematical transforms, microfluidics, nanobiophotonics, nanoengineering, nanophotonics, nanotechnology, nonlinear optics, optofluidics, organic semiconductor lasers, phase imaging, polarization rotation, quantum computing, quantum entanglement, quantum fluctuations, quantum philosophy, quantum thermodynamics, space exploration, and tunable diode laser design.
In 2000 Duarte wrote, with Oxford physicist R H Dalitz: 'The two photons are entangled and according to local realism, their polarization planes should become independent ... a typical EPR situation. Already in 1948, observations... agreed with quantum mechanics, not with local realism.' In 2003 he again highlights the nonlocality of the photon: 'All the indistinguishable photons illuminate the array of N slits, or grating, simultaneously. If only one photon propagates, at any given time, then that individual photon illuminates the whole array of N slits simultaneously.' In 2013 he derived the probability amplitude of quantum entanglement from quantum interferometric principles. In Quantum Optics for Engineers (2014) he argues for a pragmatic approach to quantum mechanics: 'The most efficient and practical interpretation of quantum mechanics is... no interpretation at all.' His books on quantum entanglement introduce quantum mechanics simply via a set of mathematical principles. His derivation of the probability amplitude of quantum entanglement, a la Dirac, via N-slit interferometric principles, is transparent and devoid of paradoxes.
