Company History
u²t was founded by Andreas Umbach, Günter Unterbörsch and Dirk Trommer in January 1998 as a spin-off company of Heinrich-Hertz-Institut für Nachrichtentechnik Berlin GmbH (HHI). In the late nineties, the three scientists realised an increasing interest in the components they had developed. They decided to meet this demand and founded u²t Innovative Optoelectronic Components GmbH.
The company started to grow as specialist for 40 Gbit/s receivers and tunable lasers. With the deployment of 40G technology in the field u²t started to heavily grow its business and capacity. Ever since 2004 the company experienced continuous revenue growth and meanwhile multiplied it capabilities.
In 2009 u²t further expanded its portfolio with the akquisition of a GaAs based modulator design team and expanded its business with these new products.
u²t Photonics AG is now a highly specialised company with accumulated excellence in the fields of high-speed device and systems design but also high volume experience. In combination with a long-term R&D partnership with HHI, this expertise ensures continuous innovation for the applications of the high-speed future.
