Profile
With over 550 employees, more than 19,500 m² of net floor space and over 40 spin-offs, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen is one of the leading contract research and development institutes in its field. For almost 40 years, the team of experts at the Fraunhofer ILT has been developing and optimizing laser beam sources and laser processes for production and metrology, energy and mobility, medical technology and the environment as well as quantum technology.
Technology
Our core competencies include the development of new laser beam sources and components, laser measurement and testing technology as well as laser manufacturing technology. These include, for example, cutting, ablation, drilling, welding and soldering as well as surface treatment, micro-manufacturing and additive manufacturing. The areas of application for laser beam sources and processes include production and metrology, energy and mobility, medical technology and the environment as well as quantum technology. Together with top German and international research and industry, we develop, for example, satellite-based measurement systems for climate research or frequency converters for a fiber-based quantum internet. The Fraunhofer ILT deals with issues of digitalization in photonics and production technology, process monitoring and control, simulation and modeling, AI in laser technology and systems engineering as a whole.
