Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut (HHI) in Berlin is a world leading research institution specializing in optical communication networks, photonic components, and fiber optical sensor systems.
With a focus on advancing optical technology for telecommunications, sensing, and quantum communications, HHI conducts cutting-edge research and development in areas such as fiber optics, integrated photonics, terahertz spectroscopy, and high-speed data transmission.
Its work encompasses the design of photonic components with high frequencies > 100 GHz for advanced optical networks, including lasers, modulators, and detectors. Moreover, hybrid photonic integrated circuits are developed based on PolyBoard, SiN and thin-film lithium niobate single mode waveguides in combination with active elements made of InP, GaAs or GaN.
Fraunhofer HHI drives the development of next-generation photonic technologies and enables new areas of use like terabit transmitters for data centers or functionalized micro ring resonator PICs for innovative point-of-care diagnostics.
The Mission of the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut
Designing information and communications infrastructure in a meaningful way requires fundamental solutions to the challenge of rethinking and sustainably ensuring the transformation to a fair and equal-opportunity information society.
The Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut sees itself as being in a position of responsibility concerning this subject.
