PolyBoard Hybrid Integration of Optical Sources
Fraunhofer HHI’s PolyBoard hybrid photonic integration technology enables optical laser sources with tailorable emission wavelengths from NIR down to VIS
- External-cavity lasers with linewidths < 1 kHz
- Mode-locked lasers with tailorable repetition rate down to 1 GHz
- Concept extendable to wavelengths from NIR down to VIS
Features
- Polymer waveguides for highly-efficient tunability and broad wavelength coverage (VIS-NIR)
- Hybrid integration of actives for different wavelengths (e.g. InP, GaAs, GaN)
- Combinable with on-PIC microoptical functionalities (e.g. optical isolators, polarisation filters & rotators, wavelength mux-demux filters, wavelength meters)
Applications
- Telecom / Datacom
- Quantum technologies
- Sensing and analytics
- mmW / THz photonics
