Holger Moench, Research Fellow
Philips Research Aachen, Germany

Holger received his PhD in high-energy physics at RWTH Aachen, Germany, before joining Philips Research in 1991. He has made many contributions to the successful Philips UHP projection lamp in virtually every aspect of the product: projection system optics, plasma physics, lamp-electronic interaction and improved collection systems.

In the last few years Holger initiated and led several Research programs on lasers as a very powerful light source with the focus on technologies which can deliver laser power at the same cost as LEDs. This work resulted in a new approach for visible lasers as well as in VCSEL based systems for heating and sensing applications.
