David Colin Hanna FRS (10 April 1941[1] − 27 January 2026[2]) was a British physicist specializing in laser physics and nonlinear optics. He was emeritus professor of physics at the University of Southampton. His research interests include quasi-phase-matched nonlinear materials, optical parametric oscillators, fibre lasers, and X-ray sources based on high harmonic generation.[3][4]
Hanna was awarded the Max Born Prize in 1993,[5] the European Physical Society Prize for Applied Aspects of Quantum Electronics and Optics in 2000,[6] and the Charles Hard Townes Medal in 2003.[7] Hanna was elected to the Royal Society in 1998.[8]
