The Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) has a new Administrative Director: Dr. Karin-Irene Eiermann (46). She comes from the Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society and, together with the long-time Scientific Director Prof. Dr. Günther Tränkle, now forms the new dual leadership of FBH gGmbH. Eiermann replaces Christian Köhler-Ma, who had been the interim Administrative Head of the institute in Berlin-Adlershof from January 2021 following the change of the corporate form to a non-profit GmbH.

With focus on simplicity, compactness, and cost-efficiency, we have investigated mounting & sealing of TO packages for "gas-tight" hermetic packaging of laser diodes from UV to NIR. The successful result is now available to partners in research and industry.

FBH has significantly increased the optical power of its 760 nm tapered lasers to 9 W while maintaining good beam quality with high power in the central lobe (> 60 %) – due to an optimized epitaxial structure and ridge waveguide length.

The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) presents its advanced developments at the Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg both at the conference and the accompanying exhibition.
