Allan Rosencwaig (born Poland, c.1942) is an American physicist.

He worked at Bell Laboratories on photoacoustics, the study of the sound echoes created by light waves, for 7 years before leaving to join the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California.[1]

In 1982 he founded the company of Therma-Wave Inc, and was awarded the status of Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1983,[2][3] after being nominated by their Division of Condensed Matter Physics,[4] for pioneering work in the development of photoacoustics for solid-state spectroscopy and in the development of thermal-wave physics.
