Photonics

Within our Photonics Research Area, we cover a broad range of diode laser and light-emitting diodes (LED) developments that are tailored precisely to fit individual requirements. The portfolio ranges from basic research to the development of ready-to-use modules and prototypes. It comprises gallium arsenide-based diode lasers and modules, emitting from the infrared to the UV spectral range, as well as laser diodes and LEDs based on gallium nitride with emission in the violet and UV spectral range.

Chips - Laser & LEDs

for high-power, single-mode, frequency-stabilized, mode-locked, tunable, dual-wavelength & pulsed lasers including amplifier chips, as well as GaN lasers & UV LEDs
