Detectors
We offer development and manufacturing of photodetector chips and modules for the infrared wavelength range of 780 nm up to 2500 nm. Our research topics cover tele-/datacom applications with high-speed photodetectors as well as sensing devices with high sensitive InGaAs photodiode arrays.
Head of Group: Dr.-Ing. Patrick Runge
Modulators
InP-based modulators with traveling wave and segmented electrode designs are the topic of this group. The modulators include Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM) and phase modulators.
Recent work on thin film lithium niobate (TFLN) completes the modulator activities. The devices are used for high-speed modulation, quantum computing and sensor applications.
Head of Group: Dr.-Ing. Patrick Runge
Lasers
InP-based Lasers, EMLs, SOAs, MLLs and Gain Chips are being developed for a variety of applications in the area of optical tele- and data communications and sensors.
Head of Group: Dr. rer. nat. Martin Möhrle
Photonic InP Foundry
We offer foundry services to external partners to allow customers/designers to acquire InP-based Photonic-Integrated Circuits (PICs) for any particular application.
Head of Group: Dipl.-Phys. Klemens Janiak
IC Design
The IC Design Group (ICD) develops high-speed IC for optical communications and provides high-frequency measurements and electromagnetic analysis.
