Munich / June 27, 2023 - June 30, 2023
LASER World of PHOTONICS
Also this year the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft presents itself on joint booths at LASER World of PHOTONICS and WORLD of QUANTUM 2023! We cordially invite you to visit the Fraunhofer ILT at booth A3.441 (WoP) as well as at booth A1.521 (WoQ)!
In addition to the various topics presented at the booths, three forums in the Application Panels will also offer an exciting and application-oriented lecture program on the current application areas of lasers and photonics:
Attendance at the forums is included in tickets to the show and is free of charge. The Application Panels are a series of application-oriented presentations on a current topic with the aim of highlighting all facets through a variety of presentations and speakers.
During the slots as well as at the booth, our experts will be available to answer your questions.
The World of Photonics Congress begins on June 25, 2023 at the International Congress Center Messe München. Visitors to the congress can listen to presentations by renowned experts until June 30, 2023. The congress ticket is also valid as an admission ticket to LASER World of Photonics.
Highlight lecture during the congress:

We are pleased to present you a variety of exhibits on different topics at our booths at LASER World of PHOTONICS and LASER World of QUANTUM
Experts at the Fraunhofer ILT have been using lasers for climate research for several years.
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems, a form of three-dimensional laser scanning similar to radar, make an important contribution.
There are earth-based, helicopter-based or satellite-based systems.
At LASER WoP, we will present exhibits on these three variants, accompanied by a video illustrating the laser's areas of application.
Helicopter-borne LIDAR system
As part of the BMBF-funded project "CHARM® - CH4 Airborne Remote Monitoring" (airborne methane remote detection), a helicopter with a LIDAR system on board flies along gas pipelines to detect gas leaks.
Ground-based LIDAR system | Alexandrite laser
Mobile resonance LIDAR systems are used at the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics IAP to measure wind and temperature profiles of the atmosphere up to altitudes of 110 km. These systems shoot laser beams into the atmosphere from the ground and telescopes catch the backscattered light. From this, exact data can be calculated as well as the composition of the air layers.
A team from Fraunhofer ILT and the Leibniz Institute for Atmospheric Physics IAP in Kühlungsborn on the Baltic Sea has constructed a portable LIDAR system using new types of highly efficient alexandrite lasers and innovative LIDAR technology.
Satellite-based LIDAR system | MERLIN
In the German-French climate mission MERLIN (Methane Remote Sensing LIDAR-Mission) scientists* are developing robust laser technology for climate protection satellites. The MERLIN small satellite is to map methane in the Earth's atmosphere. On board is a laser system developed at the Fraunhofer ILT that works precisely even under extreme conditions.
The Finnish startup Aurora Powertrains has developed an electric snowmobile with cold-resistant batteries and a high energy density of more than 190 Wh/kg. The necessary joining technology for the additionally waterproof and dustproof batteries comes from the laser welding experts at Fraunhofer ILT.
Aurora Powertrains welds 0.2 mm thin copper and aluminum contacts on the lithium-ion pouch cells using a small beam diameter infrared laser: a single mode 1 kW fiber laser with a wavelength of 1070 nm and a beam width of 30 µm, whose control electronics modulate the power locally.
The tailored battery concept is scalable and also suitable for work machines, energy storage and larger vehicles, including electric trucks or electric boats.
Fraunhofer CAPS promotes the cooperative development and processing of a new generation of laser systems through a cross-institute research structure by increasing the output power of ultrashort pulse lasers (UKP) by an order of magnitude and investigating their potential applications.
The focus is on three research fields whose current development status will be presented at LASER by the participating institutes Fraunhofer ILT, Fraunhofer IOF, Fraunhofer IZI-BB, Fraunhofer HHI, Fraunhofer IFAM, Fraunhofer IKTS, Fraunhofer ISIT Fraunhofer IWS and Fraunhofer IAF:
Laser beam sources
Including gas multipass cell for post-compression of ultrashort femtosecond lasers; high-resolution nanoscope with an EUV laser source.
Systems engineering
Multi-beam demonstrator
Laser application
Including large electrolyzer structured by ultrafast laser for the conversion of electrical energy into hydrogen; ultrafast laser drilling for e.g. aerosol generators; flexible glass lenses for thermal imaging cameras
Testing components for quantum networks
The Fraunhofer ILT is working on the development of components for quantum networks. Together with other institutes in NRW and the Netherlands, the institute is setting up a test and development platform to address partners from industry and research. The goal is to take a leading role in the development of components for the quantum internet and to tap the full potential of distributed quantum computing.
Together with partners, researchers are laying the groundwork for the quantum internet, which requires qubits, or quantum processors, to be directly interconnected. Three nodes are already interconnected in the Netherlands, and the first setup of this kind in Germany is now being added in Aachen. These activities are taking place within the framework of the N-Quik funding project.
