Lorenzo M. Narducci (25 May 1942 – 21 July 2006) was an Italian-American physicist known for his contributions to quantum optics and the study of laser instabilities, in particular. He was the author of more than 200 scientific papers and several books including Laser Physics and Laser Instabilities.[1] In addition to his research on the theory of laser instabilities[1][2] he also contributed to the physics of emission and absorption in three-level systems,[3] and frequency locking.[4]
