Laser Frequency Combs, Interferometry, Molecular Spectroscopy

Exploring exciting new frontiers

Our Division studies the interaction between light and matter. Our research covers various areas of spectroscopy and nonlinear optics. Topics include interferometry, precision spectroscopy, 3D imaging, quantum physics, molecular spectroscopy, ultrafast optics and laser frequency combs. Applications range from tests of fundamental laws of physics laws to label-free identification of bio-molecules. We are exploring advanced photonics tools, such as optical frequency combs and novel nonlinear optics, to reach beyond the limits of what has been possible in the past.

Update July 2025: Disclaimer: This website will be upgraded in the coming weeks to temporally present a summary of the research activities in the Division of Precision Physics of the Max Born Institute (Berlin) before a new institutional website can welcome them.
