Hans-Georg Weber

Hans-Georg Weber (born December 30, 1940 in Troppau ) is a German experimental physicist specializing in laser spectroscopy and optical signal processing for optical communications engineering.

Life

Weber studied from 1961 in Frankfurt / Main and later in Marburg, where he received his doctorate in experimental physics in 1971 . From 1972 to 1976 he was a research assistant at the Physics Institute of Heidelberg University , where he completed his habilitation in 1976 . From 1977 to 1978 Weber worked as a Max Kade fellow at Stanford University in the USA and from 1979 to 1984 as a Heisenberg fellow at the University of Heidelberg in the field of laser spectroscopy on molecules.

From 1985 to 2005 Weber headed a working group on optical signal processing and transmission at high data rates at the Heinrich Hertz Institute in Berlin. From 1996 he was an adjunct professor at the Technical University of Berlin . From 2001 to 2008 Weber was co-editor of the "Journal of Optical and Fiber Communications Reports". He is co-editor of the book "Ultrahigh-Speed ​​Optical Transmission Technology". In 1999 he and his team received the Philip Morris Research Prize and was nominated for the German Future Prize .
