Books By Christoph (Fraunhofer Application Center for Plasma and Photonics, Goettingen, Germany) Gerhard - Author

After his apprenticeship and subsequent 2-years occupation as skilled engineering worker in precision optics, Dr. Gerhard studied Optical Precision Manufacturing Technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Göttingen, Germany. In 2006, he prepared his diploma thesis on the development of novel short-pulse laser sources for materials processing applications at the Institute of Optics in Orsay, France. For the results of this work, he received the Georg-Simon-Ohm Award from the German Physical Society in 2009. After working in industry as product manager for optics for 3 years, he started working on the scientific investigation of laser-based materials processing at the University of Bremen in 2009. In addition, he extra-occupationally studied Optical Engineering and Photonics and received his master’s degree in 2010. Dr. Gerhard then worked as scientific coordinator of the Lower Saxony Innovation Network for Plasma Technology in Göttingen and Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany. In the course of this funct
