Speculative application in the field of imaging and sensing (IOF-2022-53)
The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) in Jena conducts applied research in optical system technology on behalf of the industry and as part of publicly funded joint projects. The range of services offered by the Fraunhofer IOF includes system solutions, starting with new design concepts, through the development of technologies, manufacturing and measuring methods to the construction of prototypes and pilot series for applications in the wavelength range from millimeter to nanometer. The Fraunhofer IOF is also pioneering applied optical quantum technology research and offers innovative solutions for science and industry wherever quantum systems have the potential for revolutionary applications.
Fraunhofer IOF develops innovative optical measurement methods and systems according to customer-specific requirements. This includes optical 3D measurement systems with high metrological accuracy for a wide range of applications. Measurement volumes from a few cubic centimeters to several cubic meters can be acquired with measurement frequencies of up to 55,000 3D-data sets per second.
Furthermore, miniaturized micro-optical imaging systems based on single- and multi-aperture systems are developed and realized. The production can be performed on a wafer-scale and can be implemented directly on an industrial level.
Fraunhofer IOF also holds a wide variety of optical and non-optical measuring systems. Examples are interferometers using CGHs (Computer Generated Holograms) as well as a computer tomograph with a resolution down to the micrometer range.
