Theodore W. Hansch

Citation:

"For the invention of Doppler-Free spectroscopic techniques using broadly tunable lasers and for their application to precision measurements of properties of the hydrogen atom.  His elegant experimental methods have been widely emulated and have contributed greatly to our understanding of atomic and molecular structure."
