Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPMIn the »Photonic Systems« department, headed by Dr. Frank Kühnemann, we use methods of nonlinear optical frequency conversion, to generate wavelengths tailored to different application. One focus is the conversion of single-frequency continuous-wave laser light, which places particularly high demands on conversion efficiency and frequency stability.
Our services range from customer-specific nonlinear optical crystals for frequency conversion to the development of production-ready prototypes of optical parametric oscillators for OEM laser manufacturers.
The light sources we develop are used in various applications, including quantum technologies, nanophotonics, digital holography, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and the manufacture of micro-optical diffraction elements.
