Alexander Ivanovich Popov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ива́нович Попо́в; born 3 September 1943) is a Soviet physicist and inventor, a laureate of a Gold medal from the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (VDNH),[2] senior research associate, Doctor of Physical-Mathematical Sciences.[3]

Popov was born in the village of Zhuravlevka, Saratov Oblast, USSR. Since 1952, he has lived in Moscow. Graduated the Faculty of experimental and theoretical physics of the National Research Nuclear University "MEPhI" in 1966. He was worked in design bureaus, but mostly in the MEPhI and is now considered its veteran. He defended a thesis for Candidate of Physical-Mathematical Sciences entitled "A research of the interaction of the optical emission with the active environment of the gas lasers".[4] in the MEPhI in 1973, where in 1984 he defended also his thesis for Doctor of Physical-Mathematical Sciences entitled "Laser absorption analysis of molecular gases".[3]

Popov is the author and co-author of 15 inventions[1] and over 100 publications[5] in the area of lasers, spectroscopy, absorption analysis, laser analysis of gases and optics. With his inventions, he repeatedly attended the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy of the USSR (VDNH) and is a laureate of a bronze (1978) and gold (1981) medals of the Chief Committee of the VDNH.[2]
