The nanoSPECTRAL chip is a chip-size spectrometer based on the nanoSPECTRAL technology developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS.

More power, more energy-efficiency, more complexity – manufacturers of modern microchips are constantly facing new challenges, especially regarding the electrical connections required.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have developed a Universal Display Data Converter (UDDC). This enables the transfer of image data to existing Fraunhofer microdisplays from various input interfaces.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Phys. Hubert Lakner worked for 21 years as Institute Director at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems, headquartered in Dresden. At the same time, he held the Chair of ‘Optoelectronic Devices and Systems’ at the Institute for Semiconductor and Microsystems Technology at the University of Dresden. 

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) and the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Natural Sciences (MPI-NAT) have made significant strides in developing optical stimulators for future cochlear implants as part of the ‘NeurOpto’ project.

In collaboration with 24 German research institutions and companies, coordinated by Forschungszentrum (FZ) Jülich, Fraunhofer IPMS is contributing to the development of an integrated German quantum computer based on superconducting quantum chips with enhanced error rates.

Project ARCTIC brings together 36 partners from industry, academia and leading RTOs to establish a complete and comprehensive European supply chain for and develop scalable, reliable, innovative control infrastructure for cryogenic quantum processors. The EU is funding the project with over € 11 million for a duration of three years.

Fraunhofer IPMS has expanded its long-standing collaboration with GlobalFoundries and has launched several research projects on innovative integrated memory concepts.

Three Fraunhofer Institutes have launched a forward-looking research initiative in Dresden: the Chiplet Center of Excellence (CCoE).

Standard medical procedures often require significant time and fail to account for individual patient characteristics, potentially affecting treatment success and quality of life.

Image sensors and their core component, the photodiode, are indispensable in numerous applications, whether in process, measurement, automotive, or safety technology.

As part of the HOT project (High-performance transparent and flexible microelectronics for photonic and optical applications), scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have developed a semi-transparent microdisplay. This microdisplay is significantly lighter than conventional combiner-based optical see-through near-to-eye systems and offers high resolution. The microdisplay will be presented at the SID Display Week ...

Radiation, vacuum, and substantial temperature fluctuations: extreme conditions prevail in space, presenting a tough challenge for satellite communications. With the Fraunhofer On-Board Processor (FOBP), experiments can be conducted in space to explore whether new technologies are operational under real conditions. The FOBP passed its final tests last week and has begun its service on board the Heinrich Hertz satellite of the German Space Agency ...

Compact and ultra-compact near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy systems are essential for analysing organic substances across varied industries such as food, textiles, and pharmaceuticals.
