“Research in Brief”: Current Insights into FBH’s Research

Aiko Onken Pressestelle
Ferdinand-Braun-Institut gGmbH Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik

    With the format “Research in Brief,” the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) presents current results and developments from its research activities. The contributions concisely summarize selected work from the past three months and group them by topic.

    The selection is based on the research news published by FBH on its website on a biweekly basis. These articles provide insights into new scientific results from the institute’s various fields of work and illustrate the continuous progress of its research.

    1. Integrated Quantum Technology

    Laser system for excitation of fluorescent light sources on a CubeSat

    We have developed a compact fiber-coupled laser source emitting at 698 nm to excite a single-photon emitter in low Earth orbit. Built and qualified faster and cheaper compared to a traditionally certified payload, this system embodies the “new space” developing philosophy.

    Double helical optical antennas for direct coupling to on-chip waveguides or quantum emitters

    We’ve developed, to the best of our knowledge, the world’s smallest chip-integrated double helical antennas that are sensitive to the circular polarization state of visible to telecom light. The antennas are written directly using a focused electron beam in a 3D nanoprinting process.

    2. Photonics

    Far-UVC micro-LEDs for enhanced fiber coupling

    We have developed far-UVC LEDs with a micrometer-structured surface design that improves light extraction and enables efficient fiber coupling. This advancement supports disinfection applications in hard-to-reach areas, including human body cavities.

    780 nm mode-locked monolithic diode laser for two-photon polymerization

    We have developed a compact, mode-locked monolithic diode laser emitting at 780 nm that delivers ultrashort, high-power pulses. It enables precise micro-3D printing via two-photon polymerization, achieving quality comparable to or even better than large Ti:sapphire laser systems.

    3. III/V-Electronics

    Precise radio frequency transistor testing with automation and machine learning

    Our new optically guided probing method and image-analysis machine learning algorithms enable precise, fully automated on-wafer measurements of RF transistors. This approach improves probes’ position accuracy below 2 µm in measurements up to 50 GHz.

    Realtime power monitoring of wireless communication systems for high data rate links – first results

    First laboratory results demonstrate that real-time power monitoring at component level enables significant energy savings in high data-rate wireless systems. Dynamic adjustment of supply voltages reduced overall power consumption by 14.5 % without impairing performance.

    Hilfe

    Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
    Verknüpfungen

    Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

    Klammern

    Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

    Wortgruppen

    Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

    Auswahlkriterien

    Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

    Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
