Research Spotlights

The Biophysics Group at FAU

Towards entry "The Biophysics Group at FAU"

The Biophysics Group at FAU investigates a broad spectrum of research topics ranging from the microscopic study of proteins and cells to the macroscopic observation of penguins in Antarctica. In each field, data acquisition via cameras, microscopes, and photodetectors is combined with elaborate imag...

3D Laryngoscopy

Towards entry "3D Laryngoscopy"

Human interaction is fundamentally based on the ability to communicate. A lasting impairment of our oral expression is necessarily accompanied by severe social and economic limitations, increasing the significance of diagnosing laryngeal and voice-related disorders. Conventionally, human vocal folds...

Clinical Photonics Lab

Towards entry "Clinical Photonics Lab"

 

The main objective of the Clinical Photonics Lab (CPL) is to explore optical technologies in biology and medicine with a focus on diagnostics. In general, there are two main approaches for diagnostics:

First, the measurement of a physical parameter (e.g. the absorption coefficient at a ...

CRC 814: Additive Manufacturing

Towards entry "CRC 814: Additive Manufacturing"

In recent years, powder- and beam-based additive manufacturing processes have successfully established in the fabrication of highly individualized, geometrically complex components. Generating functional components for series production places the highest demands on the robustness of the processes, ...

Continue

Process Metrology

Towards entry "Process Metrology"

Without knowing core parameters of a process, there is not much guidance for optimizing the process itself or its outcome. This also applies to the synthesis of functional nanoparticles. In recent years and decades, the importance and utilization of such nanoparticles in scientific, medical and indu...

Laser Beam Shaping

Towards entry "Laser Beam Shaping"

The laser is a universal tool in materials processing. Focusing a high-power laser to a single spot allows various applications like welding and laser-based additive manufacturing. Heating and consequent melting of the material mainly drives these processes in which the laser beam acts as a heat sou...

CRC 1411 – Design of Particulate Products

Towards entry "CRC 1411 – Design of Particulate Products"

Product design is the formation, formulation, handling, manufacturing and characterization of complex multiphase products across all length scales from molecules to particles and complex materials and devices. The desired product properties follow the demands of a variety of applications. These incl...

Fiber Technology

Towards entry "Fiber Technology"

The year 2021 was the 30th anniversary of the initial proposal by Philip Russell for a novel type of optical fiber that would guide light by the newly-proposed photonic bandgap effect: photonic crystal fibers (PCF). Compared to conventional step-index fibers, the very first solid-core PCF, with arra...

Quantum Technology

Towards entry "Quantum Technology"

Optical quantum technologies will shape the 21st century and have a profound impact on technological and economic developments worldwide. They are used in quantum communication, but also in quantum metrology and quantum computing. In Erlangen, the Department of Physics at FAU and the Max Planck ...
