Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPMIn the »Photonic Systems« department, headed by Dr. Frank Kühnemann, we use nonlinear optical frequency conversion methods to generate customized wavelengths for a number of application areas. These methods primarily involve converting single-frequency continuous-wave laser light. Conversion efficiency and frequency stability are key in this process.
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 fields, including quantum technologies, nanophotonics, digital holography, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and the manufacture of micro-optical diffraction elements.
