Søren Absalon Larsen (Apr 5, 1871 – Jan 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. Phil and taught theology, then he began to study physics. He subsequently joined to assist Professor 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]
