Company Visit at Qlibri
- Date: Apr 28, 2026
- Time: 02:00 PM - 05:00 PM (Local Time Germany)
- Location: Schellingstr. 4, 80799 Munich (2nd + 3rd floor)
The company was spun out of the research group of Nobel Prize laureate Theodor W. Hänsch at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics—the birthplace of fiber-based microresonators. Building on this pioneering research, Qlibri translates complex cavity physics into robust, turnkey precision instruments used in laboratories around the world.
Qlibri's systems are based on high-finesse Fabry–Pérot microresonators, where light reflects up to 100,000 times between ultra-high-reflectivity mirrors. This dramatically amplifies light–matter interactions and allows scientists to observe and measure phenomena that are impossible to detect with conventional optical techniques.
Today, Qlibri develops a range of microcavity technologies, including ultra-stable scanning cavity platforms for strong light–matter coupling in solid-state quantum systems, ultrasensitive absorption microscopy for detecting nanoparticles and material defects with up to 1,000× higher sensitivity, and non-destructive optical coating analysis with sub-ppm precision. The company also produces laser-machined fiber-based microcavity mirrors with Ångström-level surface quality for quantum and photonic applications.
The visit will feature
- a company presentation
- insights into ongoing projects
- a lab tour, and
- time for informal discussions with employees.
This visit is organized together with the IMPRS-QST and participation is limited. If you would like to participate, please contact Sibylle Graf (sibylle.graf@mpq.mpg.de).
