Søren Absalon Larsen (April 5, 1871 – January 2, 1957) was a Danish physicist who worked in the field of electroacoustics and is best known for giving his name to the Larsen effect.[1][2]
Absalon Larsen was originally MSc. Philosophy and taught theology, then he began to study physics. He subsequently joined to assist Professor Peter Kristian Prytz in the organization of a new exercise course in electronics for mechanical engineers. He was employed at the Polytechnic college, first as a lecturer, later as a professor of electrical engineering. From 1937 he was chairman of the electrical engineering group under the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences.[3]
More biographical detail exists in the Dansk Biografisk Leksikon[4] and the Nordisk Familjebok,[5] in Danish.
Family
[edit] |
Larsen was the son of farmer and carpenter, later maltster Hans Christian Larsen (1834-1920) and Ingeborg Absalonsen (1833–92).
In 1900, he married Agnes Hedevig Elisabeth Munch (born 11 June 1874 in Haslemere - died 20 September 1953 in Gentofte).
