Leibnitz Institute for Crystal Growth

The Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (IKZ) in Berlin-Adlershof is an international state-of-the-art competence center for science & technology as well as service & transfer for innovations in and by crystalline materials. The R&D spectrum thereby ranges from basic over applied research activities up to pre-industrial research tasks.
Crystalline materials are key technology enabling components to provide electronic and photonic solutions to today´s and future challenges in society such as artificial intelligence (communication, mobility etc.), energy (renewable energies, power conversion etc.) and health (medical diagnosis, modern surgical instruments etc.).
The department structure of the IKZ is:
• Volume Crystals
• Nano Structures and layers
• Material Science
• Application Science
The tour will include a dedicated presentation of IKZ’s Center for Laser Materials for the Photonics Days and additionally
• Welcome and general presentation of the institute
• Oxide and Fluorides growth laboratory
• Classical semiconductors growth laboratory
The IKZ is in walking distance of the Dorint Hotel Berlin-Adlershof or reachable by Tram service.

Electron storage ring and synchrotron radiation source BESSY II

BESSY II is one of the leading radiation sources in the soft X-ray range and is providing the worldwide scientific community with infrastructure and know-how for their research for more than 20 years. BESSY II’s strong in-house research and infrastructure development form the backbone for optimal support of scientific projects of our users coming from a variety of scientific fields in physics, chemistry, energy research, quantum materials, life science, and more. Of high interest is the development and fabrication of optical elements and instrumentation for soft X-ray applications, which we are driving forward together with partner organizations and companies.

We consider ourselves fortunate to be embedded in a highly productive scientific environment in Berlin Adlershof and beyond and take some pride in our regional, national and international user community, cooperations and networks.

Max-Born-Institute (MBI)

MBI conducts basic research in the field of nonlinear optics and ultrafast dynamics in the interaction of matter with laser light and pursues applications that emerge from this research. It develops and utilizes ultrashort and ultrafast lasers and laser-based short-pulse light sources in a wide spectral range in conjunction with nonlinear spectroscopy methods. The combined use of lasers with x-ray pulses from free electron lasers and synchrotrons complements this scientific program.

10:00 Welcome (Prof. Vrakking, Director MBI) ( Seminar room A)

10:10 Lab Tour: (1) 'Fs-laser processing lab‘; (2) 'Strong field physics lab‘; (3) '5 micron X-ray lab‘; (4) 'Nanomovie lab'

11:45-12:00 short get together and discussion, end of the visit

Ferdinand-Braun-Institute (FBH)

The FBH is an application-oriented research institute in the fields of high-frequency electronics, photonics and quantum physics. It researches and realizes electronic and optical components, modules and systems based on compound semiconductors. Its research areas include (1) Photonics, (2) Integrated Quantum technology, (3) III-V Electronics, and (4) III-V Technology.
After a short introduction to the institute, Dr. Paul Crump will take you on a window tour of FBHs cleanrooms.
