Press Releases

During the night of February 3 to 4, there was a break-in at our institute. The police have secured evidence and started an investigation. We therefore ask for your understanding that we cannot provide any further information at this time.

However, to counter rumors and false reports circulating: …

Within the BMFTR-funded project QYRO (Kernspin-basierte Quantengyroskope für New Space Anwendungen), the consortium has qualified 795 nm VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) as pump-and-probe laser sources for an NMR gyroscope with reduced SWaP for satellite navigation. The devices deliver high optical efficiency and reduce power consumption. Their small footprint and low mass support compact sensor designs. The VCSEL architecture also ensures stable, narrow-band emission, which benefits long-term operation in space.

The Berlin-based Ferdinand-Braun-Institut develops and manufactures semiconductor-based diode lasers and UV LEDs with the entire process chain in-house. At the trade fair and conferences, the institute will present its comprehensive portfolio: from technologically advanced chips and compact, robust modules for industrial, space, and quantum technology applications to high-performance microisolators and 3D-printed optical frequency references.
