Raman spectroscopy can determine the chemical composition of milk. We use an in-house developed 785 nm dual-wavelength diode laser and SERDS to successfully identify major milk ingredients and to determine the milk fat content within seconds.

Dr.-Ing. Thomas Flisgen has been appointed as Professor of Electromagnetic Field Theory at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) starting in the winter semester of 2024/25. In this role, he will drive research and teaching in the field of electromagnetic field computation and further strengthen the strategic partnership between BTU and the Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut (FBH).

We demonstrate a compact optical frequency reference using a novel 778.1 nm laser. Promising results indicate the feasibility of micro-integrating these references into matchbox-sized units for field and space applications.

On October 9 and 10, 2024, the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut will contribute to the Photonics Days Berlin Brandenburg with lectures and the accompanying exhibition.

Our high-speed transistors are promising candidates for future wireless communication applications. We develop robust characterization techniques to extract reliable transistor parameters through 3D electromagnetic simulations and precise on-wafer measurements.

In a broad mix of theory and practice, 40 students intensively explored modern information and communication technologies and their environmental impact. The first “Green ICT Camp” organized by the Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD) was held for five days at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut.
