Most
of
the
research
activities
presented
on
this
website
evolved
from
supervising
gradu
-
ate
and
doctoral
students.
It
was
a
great
pleasure
to
work
with
these
motivated
and
inspir
-
ing young persons.
•
But
none
of
the
projects
could
have
really
been
realized
without
the
excellent
support
by
an
engaged
laboratory
team.
Special
thanks
to
Jürgen
Pfuhl,
Gerd
Neufeld,

The
School
of
Electrical
Engineering
provides
good
facilities
and
excellent
laboratory
equip

ment.
Many
projects
were
supported
by
the
Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft
and
by
in
-
dustrial cooperations.

Special thanks to my colleagues
- Prof. Dr. Günter Guthöhrlein (HSU HH) for a continuous excellent cooperation in laser
spectroscopy,
- Prof. Dr. Daniel Grischkowsky (IBM & OSU-Ok) for our successful cooperation in
Femtosecond Terahertz Spectroscopy,
- Prof. Dr. Murry Salby (Bolder Col. USA; Sidney Australia) for many important contributions
and stimulating discussions in Climate Sciences. Unfortunately he passed away in April
2022.
- Dr. Willie Soon (Harvard-Cambridge, MA, USA) for his inspiring suggestions in the field of
Climate Sciences.
Physics & Climate
This Website presents a summary of the main research activities
•
as Professor for Laser Engineering & Materials Science,
from 2001 - 2009 also for Experimental Physics,
at the Helmut-Schmidt-University Hamburg (HSU HH), Germany,
•
as Visiting Scientist at IBM-Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights,
•
as Visiting Scientist at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma,
•
and on special fields of Climate Sciences after retiring 2010.
Preliminary Notes
Experimental
Physics
and
Materials
Science
are
basic
disciplines
for
academic
studies
of
Engi
-
neering
Sciences.
At
the
Helmut-Schmidt-University
these
subjects
are
integrated
in
the
School
of
Electrical
Engineering
to
teach
undergraduates
of
Electrical
Engineering
and
Economic
Engi
-
neering in these disciplines.
For
advanced-level
studies
specialized
programs
on
laser
applications,
spectroscopy,
quantum
optics
and
opto-electronics
are
offered
with
the
possibility
for
young
scientists
to
accomplish
their studies with a ma
ster or doctoral degree.
The
research
activities
of
the
Laser-Physics-Group
were
mainly
focusing
on
applications
of
lasers
in science and engineering. A compilation of these activities is listed under the link:

The
research
activitie
s
in
Climate
Science
,
which
started
in
2010,
are
