... translating ideas into innovation

Welcome to the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut fuer Hoechstfrequenztechnik!

We research cutting-edge technologies in the fields of microwave technology and optoelectronics. For customers in industry and science we provide high-frequency devices and circuits for communication and sensor technology as well as high-power diode lasers for materials processing, laser technology, medical technology and high precision metrology.

As a competence centre for III/V-compound semiconductors we operate industry-compatible and flexible clean room laboratories with 2"-4" gas phase epitaxy units and a 2"-4" process line.

DFB diode lasers for precision spectroscopy of potassium (767 nm) -

FBH has developed narrow linewidth, high-power DFB diode lasers for quantum optics experiments on ensembles of ultra-cold potassium atoms. An improved design of the grating layers has been implemented resulting in better grating and device performance of 767 nm DFB lasers. Recent results show a comparable electro-optical performance to those obtained from 780 nm.

Gallium-nitride-based high-frequency ICs with improved efficiency -

Various radar and satellite systems operate in the frequency range from 8 to 12 GHz. In this X-band range, amplifiers are commonly built as monolithic circuits, as critical tolerances and parasitic properties can be reduced through monolithic realization. A respective GaN MMIC process is available at FBH whose performance has been further improved by reducing the gate length of the GaN transistors to 0.25 μm.
