Robert Hanbury Brown
Robert Hanbury Brown is one of Fabrice's (scientific) personal hero. He is mainly known for the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect, which is still a cornerstone of quantum optics, after being its starting point.
His main papers on this topic with Twiss are (note that the opening one is not with Twiss):
- R. Hanbury Brown, R. C. Jennison, and M. K. Das Gupta. Apparent angular sizes of discrete radio sources: Observations at Jodrell bank, manchester. Nature, 170:1061, 1952. [1]
- R. Hanbury Brown and R. Q. Twiss. Correlation between photons in two coherent beams of light. Nature, 177:27, 1956. [2]
- R. Hanbury Brown and R. Q. Twiss. The question of correlation between photons in coherent light rays. Nature, 178:1447, 1956. [3]
- R. Hanbury Brown and R. Q. Twiss. A test of a new type of stellar interferometer on Sirius. Nature, 178:1046, 1956. [4]
- R. Hanbury Brown and R.Q. Twiss. A new type of interferometer for use in radio astronomy. Phil. Mag., 45:663, 1954. [5]
He also has a four-part series with Twiss, which I have not studied yet:
- Hanbury Brown, R. and Twiss, R.Q., Interferometry of the intensity fluctuations in light I. Basic theory: the correlation between photons in coherent beams of radiation, Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A, 242, 300-324, 1957.
- Hanbury Brown, R. and Twiss, R.Q., Interferometry of the intensity fluctuations in light II. An experimental test of the theory for partially coherent light, Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A, 243, 291-319, 1957.
- Hanbury Brown, R. and Twiss, R.Q., Interferometry of the intensity fluctuations in light III. Applications to astronomy, Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A, 248, 199-221, 1958.
- Hanbury Brown, R. and Twiss, R.Q., Interferometry of the intensity fluctuations in light IV. A test of an intensity interferometer on Sirius A, Proc. Roy. Soc. (London), A, 248, 222-237, 1958.
A full list of his bibliography is compiled here (by the Royal Society Publishing Organisation [6]).
Two books of a personal character are of special interest: Boffin and There are no dinosaurs in the bible.
