Whether in medical technology, quantum technology or semiconductor production, optical systems are an integral part of many high-tech applications. Manufacturing processes that combine precision, efficiency and flexibility are needed to ensure that lenses, mirrors and other components meet the highest requirements.
At the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, tailor-made solutions are developed for precisely this purpose, consisting of just a few highly efficient and extremely productive individual steps. Laser-based optics manufacturing enables the production of dimensionally accurate and functional components with low roughness - from prototypes to series production, from microlens arrays to macro-optics, from spheres to free-form optics.
