Maurice Laurent Haffner

Maurice Laurent Haffner works in the »Optical Interconnection Technologies« department, until 2026 at Fraunhofer IZM, now at TU Berlin.

His research focuses on co-packaged optics, particularly the design and simulation of optical waveguides (ion exchange and laser direct writing methods) as well as their coupling.

He studied physics at Humboldt University in Berlin, where he earned his master’s degree in 2023.

Surrogate diffusion simulation: Starting with a binary 2D mask, a set of random masks is first generated, which are then converted by a neural network into correlated distribution fields (speckle patterns). These fields serve as input for a 3D FDTD simulation model, which generates a stack of 2D intensity images with characteristic wave and interference patterns.
