Your partner in III-V semiconductor research. We develop electronic and optoelectronic devices, components, and materials based on semiconductors. Our technologies are used in applications fields such as security, energy, communication, health, and mobility.
The fifth generation (5G) communications technologies will provide a mobile internet access for various applications in the future: Reaching from innumerable low data rate sensors, as part of the »Internet of Things«, to individual terminals with high data rates, which would be required for video streaming, for example.
We are researchers and entrepreneurs, visionaries and engineers. With more than 26 000 employees at 72 institutes and facilities, we work together to turn ideas into reality. We look back on what we have achieved and, above all, look to the future.
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) combine a broad spectral tuning range of more than hundreds of wavenumbers with high spectral brightness. The infrared application laboratory at Fraunhofer IAF aims to bridge the gap between laser source and measurement system development at Fraunhofer IAF and customers.
In the project »Ultimate GaN« 26 partners from nine countries will conduct research on the next generation of energy-saving chips based on the new semiconductor material gallium nitride (GaN).
Fraunhofer IAF presents Real-time IR spectroscopy for measurement systems and spectrally tunable quantum cascade lasers from June 24 - 27, 2019 in Munich.
Fraunhofer IAF will present current research results on millimeter wave and terahertz systems at the European Microwave Week in Porte de Versailles, Paris.
