Biography
Duarte is the author of some 200 archival scientific publications. His contributions are mentioned in nearly two hundred scholarly books, including several classics, and his book titles are held at more than four thousand libraries, worldwide. Since 2017 he has been appointed Editor of the book series Coherent Sources and Applications for IoP Publishing (London). One of his papers, on laser pulse compression, is listed by the American Institute of Physics as relevant to the 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Dr. Duarte is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics (1987) and a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (1993). At the Eastman Kodak Imaging Research Laboratories he received the Chief Technical Officer Patent Award (1995). He has also received the Paul F. Forman Engineering Excellence Award (1995), for the "invention of the N-slit laser interferometer," and the David Richardson Medal (2016), “for seminal contributions to the physics and technology of multiple-prism arrays for narrow-linewidth tunable laser oscillators and laser pulse compression”, from the Optical Society.
