Mordechai "Moti" Segev (מרדכי 'מוטי' שגב) is an Israeli physicist at the Technion who is known for his work on lasers, nonlinear optics, solitons, and quantum optics.




Career


Segev studied physics at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, earning his bachelor's degree in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1990. After earning his Ph.D., he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He then went to Princeton University in 1994 as an assistant professor, and he was promoted to associate professor in 1997 and full professor in 1999. In 1998 Segev returned to work as a professor at the Technion. In 2009 he was appointed the Robert J. Shillman Distinguished Professor of Physics and Electrical Engineering.
In the 1990s, Segev discovered photorefractive spatial solitons and incoherent solitons (or random-phase solitons). He called this the phenomenon of self-trapping in incoherent white light, and he was the first to find solitons in a two-dimensional lattice. He was also the first to demonstrate Anderson localization in a perturbed periodic system.
