Funding »Optical Quantum Metrology«

We are extending our terahertz expertise to the mid-infrared range. Together with the Fraunhofer IOF, we are investigating non-linear crystals for the optical frequency conversion of ultrashort laser pulses from the near to the mid-infrared range. The Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Advanced Photon Sources CAPS is funding the project with a total of 250,000 euros.

Digital Twin for All Process Steps in Battery Production

Optimizing batteries is one of the most important tasks for industry and science. The simulation of battery models has been part of our daily business for years.

The Ministry of Science and Health is now supporting a new project that models the entire manufacturing process.

Upcoming Events

An important point in our work is the exchange with colleagues about the latest developments in research and the sharing of our results. For this reason, we regularly travel to trade fairs and conferences and present our institute at a booth or in a lecture.
