The Ferdinand-Braun-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH) is one of the leading institutes for applied research in microwaves and optoelectronics. Based on III-V semiconductors it develops high-frequency devices and circuits for applications in communications and sensor technology. High-power diode lasers with excellent beam quality are produced for materials processing, laser technology, medical technology and high precision metrology. FBH also conducts basic investigations on nitrides for future applications such as short-waved UV light sources or transistors for very high voltages. FBH’s close cooperation with partners in industry and research ensures the rapid transfer of research results into applications. The institute is part of the Forschungsverbund Berlin e.V. (FVB) and is a member of the Leibniz Association.
