Maria Goeppert-Mayer
Maria Goeppert-Mayer is an American Physicien of German origin .
Maria Gertrud Käte Goeppert Mayer was born in 1906 with Katowice, city located in Germany at that time. She died the February 20th 1972. Become American citizen in 1933, it obtains the Nobel Prize of physics in 1963, which it divides with Hans Daniel Jensen and Eugene Wigner, for its study of the nuclear Structure and the Atomic nucleus.
Marie Curie and Maria Goeppert-Mayer forms the very restricted group of the women having obtained the Nobel Prize of physics.
She theoretically shows during her thesis the existence of the Absorption to two photons (ADP or English TPA) in 1929. Despite everything, the first experimental description of this phenomenon took place only 30 years later during the appearance of the Laser S. Indeed, this phenomenon can take place only for very strong luminous intensities. Many applications were developed starting from the principle of ADP, such as the optical Limitation, the optical Stockage 3D of information, the biomedical Imagerie, the Microphone-manufacture and the photodynamic Thérapie.
Its initial was given in homage to the unit being used for ADP: the GM ()
