Professor Dr

Dieter Bimberg

Year of election: 2004
Section: Physics
City: Berlin
Country: Germany

Research

Dieter H. Bimberg was the first bringing together theoretical and experimental insight to the electronic structure, the fundamentals of growth and the optical properties of quantum dots and QD based devices.

His present research includes the growth and physics of nanostructures and nanophotonic devices, ultrahigh speed photonic devices for the future Terabus and 100 G Ethernet, single/entangled photon emitters for quantum cryptography, all contributing to "green" photonics, showing minimum energy consumption. His team was the first to develop a 1 GHz single photon emitter based on a RCLED technology including oxide apertures. His work on the ultimate nanomemory based on quantum dots is in literature dubbed the "holy grail of memories".
