Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF

Dear Sir or Madam,

due to the increasing spread of the
coronavirus (COVID-19) in Thuringia, the management of the Fraunhofer IOF has decided to take stronger security measures. The aim is to protect the health of the employees and at the same time counteract the spread of the virus. For this reason, there may be delays in the coming weeks.

We apologize for this.

We will of course keep you informed of further developments in our business activities.

Fraunhofer IOF develops scattered light measurement systems for the complete inspection of surfaces as well as scattered light models in order to simulate scattered light already during optical design and to be able to make optimizations.

On May 16th, 1960, the first laser was realized. On the occasion of the laser's anniversary, the Fraunhofer IOF looks back on highlights and numerous records from 22 years of research in the field of laser technologies in the city of light Jena.

A new ultra-compact camera was developed at Fraunhofer IOF, which can simultaneously capture high-resolution spectral and spatial information. Fields of application include industry and medicine.
