His work deals with themes such as Line, Physical chemistry, Laser beams, Mass spectrometry and Electron affinity, which intersect with Atomic physics. His studies deal with areas such as Absorption and Sideband as well as Spectroscopy. His Femtosecond research incorporates themes from Ultrashort pulse, Microwave and Frequency comb.

His most cited work include:

  • Laser phase and frequency stabilization using an optical resonator (2800 citations)
  • Carrier-envelope phase control of femtosecond mode-locked lasers and direct optical frequency synthesis (2000 citations)
  • Generation of Squeezed States by Parametric Down Conversion (989 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

John L. Hall mostly deals with Optics, Laser, Optoelectronics, Atomic physics and Spectroscopy. His Optics study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Phase. His Laser study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wavelength and Frequency modulation.

His Atomic physics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Laser cooling and Line. He focuses mostly in the field of Spectroscopy, narrowing it down to topics relating to Absorption and, in certain cases, Sensitivity. Much of his study explores Laser linewidth relationship to Distributed feedback laser.
