At this year's Photonics West Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI presents its latest developments in the area of photonic components and photonic networks and systems.
You find the following highlights at the Fraunhofer booth 4629-28:
InP Foundry Services – Photonic Integration Toolbox
Fraunhofer HHI enables self-configuration of InP-Based Photonic-Integrated Circuit (PIC) containing passive- and active devices on one substrate with a quick turn-around time of 3 months. Choose from a range of proven building blocks, such as 40 GHz receivers, 20 GHz DMLs and EAMs, and 1 dB/cm passive waveguides. Low-cost multi-project wafer-run-based PICs are already commercially available through Jeppix and customer-specific private runs can be realized on demand. Dedicated design and layout software is provided, and several packaging partners are available.
Terahertz sensing – Non-destructive, contact free measurements with Terahertz
Terahertz radiation is increasingly being used in the industrial environment for purposes of material investigation. Layer thicknesses of coatings, the geometry of polymer components or imperfections in non-conductive materials can be investigated. Another field of application is the spectroscopic investigation of gases.
PolyBoard Foundry Services – The integration platform for your ideas
The PolyBoard integration platform allows for rapid prototyping, short iteration cycles and low upfront development effort. The technology allows the integration of on-chip free space elements, 3D structures, graphene electro-absorption modulators, as well as other optical functionalities such as switches, variable optical attenuators, tunable lasers, and flexible high frequency and optical interconnects. Come to the Fraunhofer booth to learn about the services including simulation, CAD, technology development, device manufacturing, characterization, and qualification.
High-Speed Real-time Digital Signal Processing Platform
Highly flexible FPGA-based development and demonstration platform for signal processing algorithms and real-time data transmission. The platform includes 65GSa/s DACs, 56GSa/s ADCs, 100GbE-class optical interfaces and Virtex Ultrascale/Ultrascale+ FPGA processing capabilities in a robust, 19’’-housing.
Visible Light Communication up to 1 Gbit/s
LED-lamps, normally used for lighting purposes, securely transmit data at high speed and low latency even in environments where radio encounters difficulties. The standard RJ45 interface enables the fast integration into existing networks and the use for different applications like distribution of high-definition video streaming as well as two-way communication.
Optical Ultra-thin Glass Seal – Planar ultra thin glass seals with optical fiber interface for monitoring tamper attacks on security eminent components
Physical Protection of sensible, security eminent electronics is very important and increasingly challenging for many private companies or public institutions. The financial damage or the consequences (e. g., data manipulation or data recordings) of an unrecognized attack can be huge. Hence, together with OHB systems AG, Fraunhofer HHI has developed an optical seal of ultrathin glass, covering central electronic chips on boards, which for example are responsible for the encoding of data. The state of optical seals, by meaning the signature of the seal, can be proofed simply via glass fiber connector and tamper attacks are recognized immediately.

English
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).
