Frank L. Pedrotti, SJ (1932¿2010) was a member of the Society of Jesus and served on the faculty at a number of institutions including Marquette University from 1977¿1994. He received a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Cincinnati in 1962. His research areas included solid state physics and laser optics and he taught and developed courses across the undergraduate curriculum. His course notes served as the basis for the first edition of the text Introduction to Optics that he co-authored with his brother, Leno S. Pedrotti.
