Published Writings:

Below is a limited sampling of previously published work that includes four installments of my serial book Back to Basics, a 22-part introduction to electro-optics originally published in Laser Focus World. Back to Basics was selected as a finalist for the Jesse H. Neal Award for best subject-related series.

Also included are a feature article on astronomy and a couple of Los Angeles Times science articles on how lasers are used to trap atoms and small particles. (Arthur Ashkin’s invention of the laser light trap earned him the 2018 Nobel Prize in physics at the age of 96.)

Each article is a downloadable PDF file intended only as an example of my writing. All articles are copyright protected and are not for republication or distribution of any kind.
