Gerald Fütterer

Prof. Dr. Gerald Fütterer studied physics at Technical University Dresden and at Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU). His dissertation was about interference lithography at λ = 157 nm and interferometry at λ = 193 nm being used for the measurement of lithographic phase shift masks (PSM). From 2004 onwards, and for three years, he worked at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB, German NIST equivalent) in Brunswick within the working group of angular metrology, which is a part of the Division 5, Precision Engineering. He developed optical measurement systems and introduced PSM into autocollimators (AC). After being poached by the SeeReal Technologies GmbH in Dresden, he developed holographic 3D displays for nine years. He successfully introduced Bragg diffraction based volume gratings into holographic displays and established processing of photopolymers by installing a master and a copy lab. In 2008, he was offered the position of Head technology & Research and in 2011 the position of Chief Scientifi c Offi cer (CSO). While serving as CSO, he led and was responsible for the development of holographic displays. Since 2016 he has been Professor for methods engineering, metrology, simulation optical systems & optical components at Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT).
