Fraunhofer IOF

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF in Jena conducts applied research in the field of photonics and develops innovative optical systems to control light - from its generation and manipulation to its application. The services offered by the institute cover the entire photonic process chain ranging from opto-mechanical and opto-electronical system design to the manufacturing of customer-specific solutions and prototypes.

Dr. Norbert Danz 

Project Leader Fraunhofer IOF

Dr. Norbert Danz is group manager in the department of optical and mechanical system design at Fraunhofer IOF. He has received a PhD degree in physics from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany, in 2003. Since that time, he has worked on optical modelling for organic electronics and in the field of micro-optical systems and their applications to lighting, projection, imaging and sensing as well as spectroscopy. 

Dr. Falk Kemper

Sub-Project Leader Fraunhofer IOF

Dr. Falk Kemper is group leader for microassembly and printing within the opto-mechatronical components and systems department at Fraunhofer IOF. During his PhD he inkjet printed organic photo diodes and received a PhD degree in material sciences from Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, Germany, in 2019. Since then he worked on 2D- and 3D-printing of optical components as well as various assembly and integration techniques to assemble highly precise optical systems.
