The third issue of the quarterly format “Research in Brief” presents a curated selection of recent research results from the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH). The articles provide a concise overview of the institute’s latest work.
This issue features contributions in photonics, III/V electronics, and III/V technology – including compact laser sources for quantum technologies, new approaches to spectroscopic data analysis, fast characterization methods for GaN devices, improved passivation concepts for high-frequency transistors, as well as advances in VCSEL structures and miniaturized vapor cells.
The selection is based on the research news published every two weeks on the FBH website. These articles provide regular insights into new scientific results across the institute’s research fields and document the continuous progress of FBH research.
1. Photonics
Compact laser modules below 620 nm enable scalable quantum and industrial applications
We have developed compact diode laser modules emitting at 619 nm – a wavelength crucial for quantum technologies and industrial use. These efficient, wavelength-stabilized sources enable scalable, miniaturized systems previously achievable only with complex solid-state lasers.

2. III/V-Electronics
MHz load-line measurements for model parameter extraction
Reliable and rapid characterization of GaN HEMTs is essential for accurate models and circuit design. We have developed a MHz load-line technique that enables efficient extraction of compact model parameters, offering a fast alternative to conventional pulsed measurements.

Tuning surface properties of dielectrics on InGaAs: on the passivation of InP HBTs for high-frequency devices
We have developed a low-temperature ALD passivation for InP/InGaAs HBTs tailored to aggressively scaled devices. By improving surface control, the approach supports reliable millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz applications and leads to higher gain and improved RF performance.

3. III/V-Technology
Tunnel junction apertures by ion implantation: the impact of ion scattering on measurement results
Ion implantation can define tunnel-junction apertures in VCSELs without oxidation, but lateral proton straggle alters their effective size. By modelling this effect, we extract reliable specific resistances across different designs – without needing full layer or implantation details.

Microfabricated alkali vapor cells for compact atomic sensing applications
Alkali vapor cells are a key component in many integrated atomic devices. Size, weight, reliability and production cost determine their applicability and economic viability. We have developed a technology for producing highly miniaturized vapor cells that meets the increasing demands of future mobile applications, including navigation, sensing, and telecommunications.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
