We sketch the life and scientific legacy of Prof. Richard K. (Kounai) Chang (张国鼐), 1940–2020, the Henry Ford II Professor of Applied Physics, Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering at Yale University. We briefly outline his research from linear and non-linear optics; light interactions with solids and liquids in various surface, micro-shapes and nano-structures; optical effects and processes in microresonators; and later to laser spectroscopic characterization of sprays, combustion, and environmental pollutants. Prof. Chang has many colleagues, collaborators, students, and friends among the JQSRT community. |
