Speculative application - »Micro- and Nanostructured Optics« (IOF-2024-03)
The Fraunhofer - Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena conducts applied research in the field of photonics and develops innovative optical systems to control light - from its generation and manipulation to its application. The services offered by the institute cover the entire photonic process chain ranging from opto-mechanical and opto-electronical system design to the manufacturing of customer-specific solutions and prototypes.
The generation and replication of optical micro- and nanostructures is the basis for modern complex optical systems. The technology available at Fraunhofer IOF - such as grayscale lithography, electron beam lithography, reactive ion etching, step & repeat replication, wafer-scale fabrication, or even molding techniques – allows the fabrication and characterization of high-end micro- and nanooptical elements of the highest resolution on up to 12" substrates and also on curved surfaces. Fields of application are for example diffraction gratings, CGHs (computer-generated holograms), microlens arrays, diffusers, or stochastic structures.
Come and join our department as a scientific or technical employee.
