MEMS for humans - ZEMI summer school -

For the fifth time, ZEMI's research institutions and regional high-tech enterprises present latest research and development. This year's summer school is mainly focused on human-oriented applications of microsystems technology.

September 13th – 17th, 2010 in Berlin at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, organized by ZEMI


Summer break of FBH's seminars -

Our FBH seminars start again in October - in September you will find more information about the dates here.


... translating ideas into innovation

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

Highly efficient DFB lasers with an extremely narrow linewidth

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.
