Kenichi Iga
Kenichi Iga ( Japanese 伊 賀 憲 一 , Iga Kenichi ; born June 15, 1940 in Hiroshima ) is a Japanese electrical engineer who has dealt in particular with semiconductor lasers .
Career
Kenichi Iga obtained a Bachelor of Engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1963 , a Master of Engineering in 1965 and received his doctorate there in 1968.
From 1968 to 2001 he was employed at the Precision and Intelligence Laboratory of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, since 1973 as associate professor, from 1984 as professor. Since 1993 he has held the Teiichi Yamazaki Chair, and in March 2001 he retired.
From 1979 to 1980 he was a technical employee at Bell Labs . Since 2001 he has been the managing director of the Japanese Society for the Advancement of Science.
research
Since 1977 he has done pioneering work in the research of surface-emitting semiconductor lasers. He founded research activities on this type of laser, which have become very important as coherent light sources with two-dimensional parallelism. He dealt with the use of gradient index microlens arrays and other two-dimensionally arranged optics in combination with surface-emitting lasers.
Private
Iga started playing the double bass as a student and is an active double bass player in the Machida Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. In 2000 he made an appearance with the orchestra in the Berlin Philharmonic .
