Ferdinand-Braun-Institut presents laser novelties at Photonics West 2025

At Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco (USA), the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH) will be presenting novel and advanced diode lasers. FBH will be participating in both the trade fair (January 28-30, 2025) and the accompanying conferences (January 25-30, 2025) with 18 scientific talks. At stand 4205-18 in the German Pavilion, the institute will be showcasing its full range of capabilities – from design and chip development to modules and prototypes.

The image shows a diode laser, known as a Master Oscillator Power Amplifier (MOPA), with a caliper as a size reference. The device consists of a gold-colored, rectangular metal block with precise holes, recesses, and, in the front right section, a diode laser that is electrically connected with wires. Additional components, such as lenses, are distributed across the block, which is surrounded by fine conductor paths and structures. A dark gray, round-shaped optical isolator is located in the middle of the device. The caliper scale in the background indicates the small dimensions of the device.
