About us
Fraunhofer HHI in Berlin, has a focus on advancing optical technology for telecommunications, sensing, and quantum communications. HHI conducts cutting-edge research and development in areas such as fiber optic networks, integrated photonics, terahertz spectroscopy, high-speed data transmission or LiDAR. The work includes the design of photonic components with high frequencies > 100 GHz in InP for advanced optical networks, including lasers, modulators and detectors as well as foundry services. In addition, hybrid photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on PolyBoard, SiNx and TFLN single-mode waveguides in combination with active elements made of InP, GaAs or GaN are developed.

Single Photon Avalanche Photodiode Module
Fraunhofer HHI provides photodetector modules for single photon detection operating from the O- to the L-band. The SPAD chips inside the modules are based on mature InP technology and are fabricated in the wafer process line of Fraunhofer HHI, with Telcordia and space-qualified processes. The SPAD supply chain is completely within EU, including packaging at the Fraunhofer HHI facility.
High sensitivity coherent receiver module for 1550 nm
Fraunhofer HHI offers a coherent receiver module for detecting optical signals down to 1 nW in the C-band wavelength range. The application areas of the module range from LiDAR to sensing and quantum applications.
Mode-Locked and External-Cavity Lasers
Fraunhofer HHI’s SiN wafer line enables for the hybrid integration of SiN PICs with active InP components for mode-locked lasers with a tailored repetition rate and external cavity tunable lasers operating at NIR wavelengths.
SiN PICs for Photonic Biosensing
Fraunhofer HHI offers SiN PICs that can be customized for different applications and wavelength ranges. Photonic building blocks including ring resonators, MMIs, tunable gratings and phase shifters are available. Optimized interfaces allow for the hybrid integration of lasers, gain chips and detectors. Furthermore, surface functionalization together with wafer-level micro-fluidics enables the use of the SiN wafer technology in life sciences, analytics and sensing.
