2. Basiev T T (Laser Materials and Technology Research Center, A M Prokhorov General Physics Institute, RAS, Moscow) ’Luminescent nanophotonics and high-power lasers’;
3. Vitukhnovsky A G (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS, Moscow) ’Advances in luminescent light sources and displays’;
4. Aleksandrov E B (Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, RAS, St. Petersburg) ’Sergei Ivanovich Vavilov and the special theory of relativity’;
5. Bolotovsky B M (P N Lebedev Physical Institute, RAS, Moscow) ’Vavilov — Cherenkov effect’;
6. Vizgin V P (S I Vavilov Institute of the History of Natural Sciences and Technology, RAS, Moscow) ’Sergei Ivanovich Vavilov as a historian of science’;
7. Ginzburg A S (Knowledge Society) ’Academician S I Vavilov — a devotee of the enlightenment and the first president of the Knowledge Society of the USSR’.
