Electrons meet Photons

Since 1998, the Institute of Optoelectronics belongs to the Centre for Semiconductor Technology and Optoelectronics and has access to a first class technical infrastructure, including a clean room with 470 square metres area. Beside several European projects, the Institute of Optoelectronics is involved in the Centre for NanoIntegration (CENIDE) and in the NanoEnergy Technologies Centre (NETZ).

Photonic-excited Integrated THz Beam Steering Antennas

Photonic-excited Integrated THz Beam Steering Antennas

Hetero-integrated InP-based THz antenna arrays chip have been fabricated and successfully employed for THz image scanner and mobile THz communications . The video shows beyond 5G wireless transmission with data rates in excess of 20 Gbit/s at 300 GHz carrier frequency and with steering angles of about 45°.

Mobile Material Characterization and Localization by Electromagnetic Sensing

More than 100 years ago, scientists invented the mobile camera to take pictures at any location. More than 30 years ago, engineering scientists invented the mobile phone to make calls anywhere. Now it is time to invent a mobile material detector to determine materials of any surface as well as inside an object at any location.

Radio technologies for 5G using Advanced Photonic Infrastructure for Dense user environments

At the beginning of the year, the European Union and Japanjointly had published a call for collaborative research projects in four specially selected technology areas. Within the four main priorities, only one project should be encouraged. University of Duisburg-Essen could prevail with its international partners in the subject "Access Networks for Densely Located User Areas".
