We couldn’t do our work at Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics without the wider team around us.John Gillespie is an integral part of this team with expertise in IT support. He explains: “It’s a very different environment ... and it’s really interesting - all the equipment that we use and the projects we work on. "The team are really good. It’s a really collaborative environment, you can go to anyone for help and they are willing to spend time with you. It’s a good environment to work in.”#photonics #team #support #lasers
Did you know you can use a laser to measure, and therefore control, the speed of a spacecraft approaching the moon? One of our other projects will help calculate the carbon impact of a forest from space. To find out more about the exciting work the Fraunhofer CAP team is doing in space, do watch this short video featuring Dr Emma Le Francois.#space #lasers #moon #spacecraft #carbonimpact
Harry Hall is one of 25 talented postgraduate students we have at Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics. “I’m really glad I chose to be a student at Fraunhofer, you’re still learning, you’re still trying to push forward technology but you’re doing it in a business environment which feels really good." In the second of our video series, Harry describes ultrafast laser inscription and the possibilities this opens up, as well as the benefits of being at Fraunhofer.#lasers #photonics #Fraunhofer #ultrafastlaserinscription
One of the projects we’ve been working on at Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics is developing small optical communications systems for the likes of drone and satellites. Using optical frequencies for communications, rather than radio frequencies which are limited, enables high volumes of data to be transmitted very quickly across large distances. This is just one example of our pioneering work which solves real-life challenges. Do watch Dr Gerald Bonner, Principal Researcher, talk about our work in this area, and contact us if you’d like to talk about how we can help address the challenges you face in your industry.#opticalcommunications #communications #opticalfrequencies #innovation
