Trade Fair

Innovative optics enhance the precision, speed and versatility of sensor technology, testing equipment and laser-based production systems. Optics therefore open up new avenues for business and enable more effective and efficient solutions for industry and research. From spectroscopy for increasingly fine analysis, to interception-proof communication based on quantum encryption, to the pioneering use of additive manufacturing to produce customized components – optics are the key to a host of new products and services. Many new developments in industry and society are based on optical processes. This includes environmentally friendly electromobility, high-performance communications,smart medical  devices and mass customized manufacturing.

Various Fraunhofer Institutes and Research Institutions will be presenting tailor-made solutions for industry and research at the LASER World of PHOTONICS 2019, in the joint Fraunhofer booths in Hall A2, Booth 431 and Hall B3, Booth 335. These technological innovations are energizing a host of sectors and making an active contribution toward advancing our society. For example, digital photonic production – i.e., the combination of photonics and information technology – is creating new opportunities in the field of Industrie 4.0. Similarly, the use of high-performance ultrafast lasers will soon enable precision machining at a quality and output never before achieved.
