Physicist Paul B. Corkum, known for his pioneering work in attosecond science and ultrafast laser physics, has been named an Honorary Member of Optica, one of the highest distinctions the optical society bestows. The honour recognizes his decades of contributions to light-based research, and announcements of the award are circulating through scientific news outlets.

A new research report describes a multiscale characterization method for the carrier-envelope phase, the precise timing offset between a light wave's peak and its pulse envelope in ultrashort laser pulses. Controlling this phase is central to attosecond science and strong-field physics, where tiny timing shifts alter how lasers ionize atoms or drive electron motion.
