Marc Ilegems
Marc Ilegems (19 April (1940)—) is a Belgium physicist who led a group at the EPFL where important early works on microcavity polaritons were undertaken. A good vitae is written by B. Deveaud at the occasion of his 65th birthday[1] in a special volume, with interesting papers of historical interest, such as:
- Microcavities in École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, École Polytechnique (France) and elsewhere: past, present and future. C. Weisbuch and H. Benisty in Phys. Stat. Sol. B 242:2345 (2005).
- Early stages of continuous wave experiments on cavity-polaritons. R. Houdré in Phys. Stat. Sol. B 242:2167 (2005).
as well as:
- Section «4 Historical perspective (JJB)» of Parametric amplification and polariton liquids in semiconductor microcavities. J. J. Baumberg and P. G. Lagoudakis in Phys. Stat. Sol. B 242:2210 (2005).
- Introduction of Bose–Einstein condensation of microcavity polaritons. V. Savona and D. Sarchi in Phys. Stat. Sol. B 242:2290 (2005).
Other papers are interesting too but are more of a conventional research/review type.
