Timeline

1922

John Newton Dodd (19 April 1922 – 20 May 2005) was a New Zealand physicist who worked in the field of atomic spectroscopy.

Born in Hastings in 1922, Dodd was educated at Otago Boys' High School.

1946

Dodd attended the University of Otago, graduating with a master's degree with first-class honours in 1946.

After earning his doctorate at the University of Birmingham, he returned to the University of Otago to take up a lectureship.

1950

In 1950, he married Jean Patricia Oldfield with whom he had four children.

1959

While on leave in Oxford in 1959–1960, he worked with George Series who was applying techniques developed by Alfred Kastler's research group in Paris to demonstrate that radiation from a coherent superposition of excited states of atoms would display interference effects, known as quantum beats, and together they developed the theoretical explanation for the phenomenon.

1964

Dodd was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1964, and was president of the society from 1989 to 1993.

1965

He was awarded a professorial chair in 1965 and retired in 1988.

1976

In 1976, he won the society's Hector Medal, at that time the highest prize in New Zealand science.

1990

In 1990, he was awarded the New Zealand 1990 Commemoration Medal.

The Dodd-Walls Centre for Photonic and Quantum Technologies, a New Zealand Centre of Research excellence based in the University of Otago, was named after Jack Dodd and Dan Walls in recognition of their pioneering roles in establishing New Zealand's internationally recognised standing in photonics, quantum optics and ultra-cold atoms.

1995

His friendship with Series was long lasting, and it was Jack Dodd who edited a memorial Festschrift for George Series after his death in 1995.
