Uwe Griebner

Dr. Uwe Griebner is a Researcher and Project Coordinator at the Max Born Institute for Nonlinear Optics and Short Pulse Spectroscopy in Berlin, Germany. He leads Project 4.1 focused on advanced ultrashort pulse lasers, amplifiers, and mid-IR systems. His work emphasizes high-energy laser development, including Ho:YLF regenerative amplifiers and mid-IR parametric devices.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics (1996), Technical University Berlin
• Diploma in Physics (1986), University of Jena

Research Interests:

• High-power laser systems and parametric devices
• Mid-IR and near-IR wavelength technologies
• Crystal materials for solid-state lasers
• Ultrafast pulse amplification and compression techniques

Technical Contributions: His Ho:YLF amplifier achieves 12 mJ pulse energy at 2 µm wavelength, with record extraction efficiency (19.5%) and pulse stability (<0.5% RMS). Recent work includes 75 mJ, 2.2 ps CPA pulses at 1 kHz and ZnSe-based mid-IR compression.

Labs/Teams: Part of the C2 department, specializing in solid-state light sources. Collaborates with international teams on crystal growth, spectroscopy, and laser applications.
