Biography
William Silfvast received his PhD in Physics form the University of Utah and is currently Emeritus Professor of Optics at UCF. His current interests involve developing efficient short-wavelength sources and their use in new applications, such as soft-X-ray projection lithography and microscopy, and in photoionization spectroscopy. Dr. Silfvast is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, and the IEEE. He has written a book entitled "Laser Fundamentals" published by Cambridge University Press.
