SPIE.PhotonicsWest 2023 - Fraunhofer IKTS

Trade fair / January 31, 2023 - February 02, 2023

SPIE.PhotonicsWest

The world’s premier lasers, biomedical optics and biophotonic technologies, quantum, and optoelectronics event.

Fraunhofer IKTS will present its competencies in the area of transparent ceramics as part of the German Pavilion:

Hall F, Booth 4105.28

At Fraunhofer IKTS, the research and development of high-purity transparent ceramics for optical systems, medical technology and ballistic protection is being steadily expanded. A technical infrastructure is currently being integrated on the basis of PERLUCOR^®, which cover the complete value chain for transparent parts and components. The new research and development center will help to significantly expand the current application scenarios of transparent ceramics with mature technologies.

Current application scenarios for transparent ceramics with mature technologies:

Optics and sensor technology

Chemically and mechanically stable optics for sensor systems (driving assistance and transport systems, lidar sensors for autonomous driving), active light diffraction and guidance, laser head protection systems, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems.

Civil security

Chemical and mechanical protective covers for optical systems in harsh conditions (desert regions, subsea sensor systems, radiation-resistant lidar sensors on satellites, night vision devices, solar energy harvesting), ballistic protective windows and optics for vehicles, large-format scanner screens.
