Dieter Pohl, physicist

Wolfgang Dieter Pohl (* 1938 ) is a German-Swiss experimental physicist. He was best known for his work in nano-optics, near-field optics and plasmonics .

Life

Dieter Pohl studied at the University of Stuttgart and the Technical University of Munich , where he entered laser research early with Wolfgang Kaiser , received his doctorate and qualified as a professor. Then he went to the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory in Rüschlikon. There he dealt with non-linear optics , laser physics, optical data storage, scanning probe microscopy and nano-optics / plasmonics.

1982 he developed the optical near-field microscope , the first resolutions beyond the Abbe resolution limit permitted (z. B. 20 nm at a wavelength of 515 nm). In the years that followed, the relationship between optical near-fields, plasmons, and antennas was investigated, which culminated in the developing field of plasmonics.

In 1998 Dieter Pohl moved to the University of Basel and in 2002 became adjunct professor. There he continued the antenna concept of the near-field probe . With the help of the Basel optics group, he verified “optical” dipole antennas , the amazing properties of which have greatly influenced plasmonics.

In 1992 Dieter Pohl and Daniel Courjon organized a workshop on near field optics (NFO) for the first time. It became the starting point for the biennial international NFO conferences. Since then, they have become a platform for nano-optics, near-field microscopy, plasmonics, metamaterials , quantum informatics and ultra-fast processes. Dieter Pohl wrote articles for numerous relevant book publications. A list of his articles can be found on ResearchGate and on his personal page at the University of Basel.
