Hybrid Photonics & Thin Film Technologies

The Joint Lab "Photonic Devices & Thin Film Technologies" between Wildau University of Technology and the IHP was founded in 2006. Since 2016 the thematic focus has been on the realization of hybrid photonic modules. 

The focus of the long-standing and successful cooperation is the joint training of young scientists.

    The research focus of the Joint Lab is the development of:      

    • hybrid photonic devices, modules and technologies
    • process and technology development for graphene based devices

    The focus of research is on the development of devices and modules that can be used for the realization of hybrid photonics technologies. These can particularly address applications in the field of sensor technology and medical technology. Within the framework of the "More-than-Moore" device and technology developments of the IHP, the Joint Lab also researches and develops new diagnostic procedures for the developed modules.

    The Joint Lab IHP/TH Wildau successfully continues the long lasting and successful cooperation within the collaboration with the IHP. Academic teaching and research will be further intensified. Joint networking activities and public appearances, such as the Wildau Science Week and trade fair appearances, e.g. the "Sensor & Test" and the Microsystems Technology Congress (MST), are used to present the results to the public. In addition to research, a special focus is the joint training of young scientists and engineers. Lectures, laboratory internships and student excursions are held annually ffor students of the TH Wildau from the bachelor and master degree programs. Numerous final theses for bachelor and master students are successful testimony to the many years of cooperation. A special highlight was the international summer school held in 2018, which was organized by the TH Wildau in cooperation with the University of Rome TorVergata and together with the IHP. Joint dual study programs complement the training and education portfolio of the Joint Lab between TH Wildau and IHP.
