Joachim R. Sacher (M’95) was born in Koblenz, Germany in 1962. He received the Diploma and Dr. rer. nat. degrees in physics from Philipps Universität, Marburg, Germany, in 1988 and 1992, respectively. From 1986 to 1992, he worked on nonlinear dynamics of diode lasers and chaos, and picoseconds mode-locking of diode lasers. In 1992, he founded Sacher Lasertechnik, where he is involved in research on tunable diode lasers and picoseconds mode-locked diodes for spectroscopy applications. Mr. Sacher is a member of German Physical Society, the International Society for Optics and Photonics, and the Optical Society.
