While many focus on the latest devices, the real game changers are the enabling technologies behind them. The CIOE (China International Optoelectronic Exposition) once again proved to be an excellent platform for exchange and networking, particularly in the realm of tech-enabling technologies. With more than 3,800 exhibitors and over 130,000 visitors, it reflects the full scope of the optoelectronics industry – from #PrecisionOptics to optical communication and #Photonics for data centers. Together with our sister company #VMET and other associates from Vital Materials Co., Limited, we had the opportunity to engage in valuable discussions and strengthen our ties across the ecosystem. For us, three growth fields are apparent: 🕶️ AR Optics: Demand coatings of the highest precision – from waveguides to anti-reflection systems. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and advanced sputtering technologies ensure the stability, efficiency, and optical performance that next-generation devices require. 🖥️ AI Infrastructure: Massive investments in AI computing power drive growing demand for data centers and advanced semiconductor packaging. Thin films play a crucial role here, from barrier and dielectric layers that protect and insulate, to optical interconnects that enable high-speed, energy-efficient communication within and between chips. These thin-film technologies are crucial for enhancing performance, reducing power consumption, and scaling AI hardware infrastructure. ⚛️ Quantum and Photonic Integration: Emerging applications in quantum computing and photonic devices rely on innovative optoelectronic materials and precise thin-film coatings. These technologies support breakthroughs in sensor sensitivity, data transmission rates, and computing architectures, opening new frontiers in information processing and communication. That is why we are convinced: thin-film technologies are not just a supporting act – they are the foundation enabling breakthroughs across AR, AI, and quantum photonics. 👉 Where do you see the most significant opportunities for thin-film solutions in evolving these markets? #WeAreFHR #TheThinFilmCompany

📚 When Complexity Becomes the Norm, Structure Is Essential. In #CustomEngineering, high product variation, documentation requirements, and tight project timelines are everyday challenges. Over time, organically grown #TechnicalDocumentation processes can lead to inconsistencies, redundancies, and inefficiencies for internal teams and customers. At FHR Anlagenbau, we adopted a structured approach to overcome this. "Thanks to the standardization and modularization of text modules, the benefits in terms of time and cost savings are already noticeable," says Gabriele Gröger, our Head of Technical Documentation. Here's what we learned: ➡️ Complexity needs structure Unstructured content became a bottleneck for quality and speed. ➡️ We rethought our editorial process From text-heavy documents to modular, reusable content. Cross-functional collaboration and clear workflows were key. ➡️ The results speak for themselves Greater consistency, faster updates, fewer internal clarifications, and documentation that scales with product diversity. ➡️ Clear benefits for our customers Transparent, reliable, and easily navigable documentation – delivered on time and fit for purpose. ✅ At FHR, structured documentation is more than an internal improvement – it's a direct contribution to customer success. Special thanks to the team at kothes GmbH - Smart Information Solutions for supporting the implementation of SCHEMA #ST4 from Quanos. 👉 Read the full #SuccessStory: https://lnkd.in/d3D6cE7M 💬 What structures have helped you reduce complexity in your processes?

#LaserWorldofPhotonics 2025: Coating Technology that Enables the Next Generation of Optical Applications   Last week in Munich, we joined the global photonics community at Laser World of Photonics 2025. Together with our partners from Vital Materials Co., Limited, we presented new approaches for #OpticalCoatings and #QuantumMaterials. These were topics that sparked some truly insightful conversations about where photonics is headed.   At our joint booth, we introduced new methods for Q-switched lasers and quantum materials — a combination that's proving transformative across various industries, including automotive assistance systems (e.g., #LIDAR), Medical imaging and diagnostics, and sensor and measurement applications. And what makes these innovations accessible? The answer lies in the synergy between FHR's advanced #VacuumCoatingSystems and VITAL's expertise in high-purity materials.   Why it matters: In conversations with engineers and system integrators, several challenges stood out: 💸 The need to reduce system costs without compromising performance 🔁 The demand for more resilient and durable laser sources ⚙️ The urgency to integrate cutting-edge materials into existing production flows   Here's how we can help: ✔️ Coating technologies developed and tested in-house — ready for scaling ✔️ Access to the full value chain: deposition systems, process know-how, and materials ✔️ Research-driven improvements for system longevity and reliability   While it's tempting to talk about what might be possible “someday,” we're focused on what's ready for your production line today.   If you're working on optical systems, exploring quantum materials, or building the next generation of laser modules, let's connect. Are you facing similar challenges? Let’s discuss how our technologies and expertise can support your next step!   #WeAreFHR #TheThinFilmCompany

Vital Materials Co., Limited exemplifies the power of material science with its high-purity #Bismuth alloys and functional materials, driving innovation in key technologies from automotive sensing and infrared systems to sustainable coatings.   In thin‑film and vacuum-coating applications, these materials unfold their full potential only when processed with precision and technological reliability.   That’s where we come in: At FHR Anlagenbau, we develop advanced #VacuumCoating systems that enable the deposition of bismuth and other specialty metals into high‑performance thin films – for sensing, optics, and electronics.   We also recognize the strategic relevance of bismuth-based alloys – often referred to as #QuantumMaterials – for future technologies in electronics and quantum systems. For example, our R&D team, including Dr. Jose Barzola Quiquia in the Advanced Technologies division, contributed to the recent peer‑reviewed study “Thermopower and resistivity of the topological insulator Bi₂Te₃ in the amorphous and crystalline phase” (J. Phys.: Condens. Matter, June 2024). The work reports the in-situ preparation and characterization of thin Bi₂Te₃ films, revealing quantum surface conduction down to 1 K and demonstrating material and process control that directly informs our equipment design for industrial-scale production.   These insights enhance our ability to design vacuum coating systems tailored to the highest standards required for manufacturing next-generation, quantum-grade thin films. Together with partners like Vital Materials, we are helping shape the future of functional materials – from fundamental research to industrial implementation.   👉 Curious how thin-film engineering translates quantum materials into industrial solutions?
