About

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF conducts application-oriented research in the field of photonics and develops innovative optical systems for controlling light.

The institute's expertise covers the entire photonic process chain for implementing customized system solutions in the business fields of “Light Sources & Lasers,” “Optical Systems,” “Sensors & Measurement Technology,” and “Photonic Quantum Technologies.”

With its developments, Fraunhofer IOF can point to more than 20 years of expertise in the development of space-qualified optics. This applies to both Earth observation and remote sensing missions as well as ground-based applications.

One of the institute's main areas of focus is secure ground- and satellite-based communication.
