Dieter Bimberg

Dieter Bimberg (born July 10, 1942 in Schrozberg ) is a German physicist and was a professor at the Technical University of Berlin . His main area of ​​work is nanophysics and nanophotonics .

Live and act

After studying mathematics, philosophy and physics at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, this was continued in physics at the Goethe University. There he received his doctorate in physics in 1971 at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main and worked as a research assistant and lecturer of the new kind.

Then he accepted an offer from the Max Planck Society, at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research , under the founding director Hans-Joachim Queisser , to set up the Franco-German high-field magnet laboratory at the Service National des Champs Intenses (SNCI) des Head of CNRS in Grenoble . He initiated the construction of helix and hybrid magnets and set up a group for spectroscopy and modeling of semiconductors in high magnetic fields, in which the later Nobel Prize winner Horst Störmer wrote his dissertation on quantum liquids.

In 1979 he got a call to the Institute for Semiconductor Technology of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University , where he developed the first low-temperature cathodoluminescence as a scanning and high-location-and-time-resolved nanomechanism. a. supervised the dissertation of Holger Jürgensen , the later founder of Aixtron , and turned to high-frequency photonics.

In 1981 he accepted a chair in applied physics at the Technical University of Berlin.

He first set up laboratories for the production of semiconductor nanostructures using MOCVD and their characterization of electrical and optical properties. In addition, he devoted himself to groundbreaking theoretical modeling of both the growth and the electronic and optical properties of nanostructures . The first quantum dot lasers at room temperature were manufactured there for the first time and their superior properties compared to classic semiconductor lasers were demonstrated.

The focus of work since the turn of the millennium has been used by the Center for NanoPhotonics he founded to verify the concepts he invented of nanoflash memories and energy-efficient and at the same time highly bit-rate nanophotonic components such as single q-bit emitters, mode-coupled lasers and quantum dot amplifiers (QD amplifiers), VCSELs and highly brilliant high-performance edge emitters . The environmentally friendly (energy-saving) Internet (“green Internet”) is currently at the center of his work.

From 1990 to 2011, he was the managing director of the Institute for Solid State Physics at the Technical University of Berlin. From 2004 he was the managing director of the Center for Nanophotonics.

Since April 2018 he has been heading the Bimberg Chinese-German center for green photonics in Changchun ( China ).

Visiting professorships led him to the RSRE , Gt. Malvern (England), to Hewlett Packard Labs , Palo Alto (USA), to the University of California, Santa Barbara (USA), twice to Technion Haifa (Israel) and to King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) .

He was one of the initiators of a number of spin-offs that brought part of his 25 or so patent families to commercialization and is the owner of a consulting firm.
