General description, expertise and role in the project

DieMount GmbH was founded in September 2001. The technology-based startup company developed a novel technology for high precision and high efficient fiber chip coupling especially suitable for fibre optical transceiver modules. In addition, the company offers low excess loss and low cross talk POF fibre splitters for simplex data transmission. Basing on these two core technologies, DieMount GmbH fabricates and markets POF transceivers, POF media converter modules and POF systems.

The total number of person-months dedicated to the POF-ALL project is 18.

Facilities

DieMount is provided with an about 100 sqm clean room for optical component production and optical and electronic test equipment for development and quality control. Die- and wirebonding is done in collaboration with a supplier at the same site.

CV partner reference person

Dr.-Ing. Hans Kragl (48) received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in 1983 from the University of Karlsruhe and the Dr.-Ing. degree in 1988 from the Technical University of Munich, both in electrical engineering. From 1984 to 1990 he was a Research and Teaching Assistant with the Lehrstuhl für Technische Elektrophysik at the Technical University of Munich. Then, as employee of a telecommunication company he was engaged in R&D of low cost optical glas fiber modules. Between 1992 and 1995 he led as project manager the EU-funded RACE II project „POPCORN“ with the objective to develop a novel technology for the fabrication of integrated optical components by low cost moulding techniques. In July, 1998 he sourced out the results of this technology to a new founded company, HARTING Elektro-optische Bauteile GmbH&Co. KG. In September, 2001 he founded again a new startup company, DieMount GmbH. At present he holds 100% shares at DieMount GmbH.
