Quantum keys for technological sovereigntyExternal link
As part of the QuNET project, researchers have demonstrated how quantum key distribution works reliably via hybrid and mobile channels. The results are milestones for sovereign, quantum-secured communication in Germany and have now been published in the renowned journal New Journal of Physics. Quantum communication is considered a crucial technology for long-term data security and thus also for technological sovereignty in Germany and Europe. At its core is the distribution of secure cryptographic keys based on quantum physical processes – quantum key distribution (QKD). QKD will not only be important for highly secure communication in government agencies, the military, and businesses, but will also help protect the data we use in our daily lives.

Compact space spectrometer for sustainable agricultureExternal link
Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF in collaboration with Airbus have developed a hyperspectral spectrometer as part of the “Rainbow” project, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). The technology enables the creation of digital field maps that can be used in agriculture as precise application maps for location-specific measures. Fraunhofer IOF will be presenting the system at the Space Tech Expo in Bremen from November 18 to 20. How healthy is a field? How nutrient-rich is the soil? For farmers, these questions are central when it comes to the sustainable use of resources. In the future, these questions can be answered with a glance from space. The combination of Earth observation and data-based analysis is a central component of so-called smart farming, which provides precise information for automated and sustainable agriculture. As part of the "Rainbow" project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have developed a telescope for Earth observation that can be used to demonstrate the concept of a spectrometer-on-chip. The compact technology enables precise analysis of plant and soil conditions from space. The newly developed system is designed for small-batch production and achieves a spatial resolution of less than 20 meters in the spectral range between 400 and 1700 nanometers. Despite its miniaturization, the image quality remains consistently high.

The physicist Prof. Dr. Mario Chemnitz from the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technologies (Leibniz-IPHT) and the Friedrich Schiller University Jena receives a renowned WE Heraeus Research Fellowship. The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation thus supports young researchers who give physics new impetus. The award was presented at the WE Heraeus Forum on 6. Awarded November 2025 in Berlin. Mario Chemnitz is working to put arithmetic on a new basis: not with electric currents in computer chips, but with light. His goal is optical neural networks that use light waves to process data patterns, similar to nerve cells in the brain. In his junior research group Smart Photonics, he investigates glass fibers and optical microchips in which ultra-short light pulses interact with each other. These interactions – so-called nonlinear effects – change the spectrum and shape of the pulses. Thus, computing steps can take place directly in the light signal without electronic processors having to translate the data. Replicating neuronal signal currents with light. “I am very pleased with this award,” says Mario Chemnitz. “New breakthroughs are urgently needed to process the gigantic amounts of data in medicine and data centers. We want to understand how we can control the dynamics of light waves in a targeted manner in order to process information directly in the light signal. The Fellowship gives us the freedom to pursue fundamentally new ideas in the team, which are difficult to get underwhelmed by the usual funding routes in Germany because of their interdisciplinarity.”

New Diagnostic Platform From Jena Detects Vaccination Gaps and Antibiotic ResistanceExternal link
Scientists at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) have developed a new microarray-based diagnostic platform that can help close vaccination gaps and quickly detect antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The innovation, created at the InfectoGnostics Research Campus Jena, aims to accelerate two critical areas of public health: monitoring immunity after vaccination and identifying drug-resistant pathogens more efficiently. In a study published in Frontiers in Microbiology, researchers show that their new chip identifies optimal antibody pairs for resistance diagnostics in just days instead of weeks. “Our platform shortens the search for suitable antibodies from several weeks to only a few days,” said Sascha D. Braun, first author of the study. “That means new diagnostic tests can be developed much faster — a key advantage when dealing with antibiotic-resistant infections that are becoming harder and harder to treat.”

The latest key experiment of the QuNET initiative was successfully completed today with a flight experiment between Oberpfaffenhofen and Erlangen. The aircraft formed a mobile node in a quantum network and established a connection to a ground station. There, the photons were successfully received and measured. The technologies from the demonstrated key experiment are groundbreaking for future secure quantum communication. It is not easy to send individual photons from an aircraft in a targeted manner, capture them in a ground station, and also detect them. Researchers have now succeeded in doing this: they have even measured various quantum channels between an aircraft and a ground station several times, sent photons to an ion trap, and tested technologies for quantum key distribution. The flight experiment took place as part of the QuNET initiative, which develops technologies for quantum-secure communication. Photons, or particles of light, can be used to generate quantum cryptographic keys that make future communication practically tap-proof. The technologies are also groundbreaking for a future quantum internet that connects quantum computers with each other.

A laser pulse in Dr. Maria Chernysheva’s research lasts only about 100 femtoseconds, or in numbers: one millionth of a billionth of a second. To put this into perspective, it is as short as four hours in the entire 4.54-billion-year history of the Earth. With these ultrafast lasers, she aims to open up new possibilities for medical diagnostics, laser surgery and monitoring greenhouse gases. Maria Chernysheva, a researcher at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, has now been accepted into the Heisenberg Program of the German Research Foundation (DFG). Chernysheva’s research focuses on lasers that operate from 2.5 to 5 micrometers. In this mid-infrared range, water, many biomolecules, and greenhouse gases absorb light strongly that is crucial for noninvasive tissue analysis and precise environmental measurements. “Efficient, high-brightness light sources in this range are still missing,” says Dr. Maria Chernysheva. “That makes the research especially exciting. Since standard fiber technology cannot be used, we test new materials and designs, look closely at the underlying physics, and solve challenges step by step. Each stage brings us closer to applications like high-precision diagnostics or gentle, high-precision surgical procedures.

More efficient circuits for AI and quantum computersExternal link
Lithium niobate has long been a standard material for modulating optical signals, both in telecommunications and in laser amplifiers. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have further developed thin-film lithium niobate (LNOI) to build integrated optical circuits. This is a breakthrough for photonic integrated circuits that enable energy-efficient, fast and scalable photonic systems. The technology will be presented at the World of Quantum trade fair in Munich from June 24 to 27. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) differ from electrical ICs: they have waveguides instead of electrical conductors and the light signals are processed in small interferometers instead of transistors or gates. Both waveguides and interferometers can be manufactured excellently in lithium niobate. The researchers at Fraunhofer IOF can realize these structures in thin-film lithium niobate grown on an insulating material (LNOI). The process uses technology from semiconductor manufacturing and is therefore immediately scalable.

New generation of thulium fiber lasers achieves world record performanceExternal link
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF have developed powerful thulium fiber laser systems that almost double the previous performance world record. The technology lays the foundation for high-power lasers with even greater performance prospects. High-power fiber lasers are a versatile tool for numerous technological applications, such as material processing or free space communication. The choice of the right spectral range plays a decisive role, especially over long distances — from earth to satellites, for example. The spectral region above 2030 nm is considered particularly suitable, as atmospheric losses are low there and the laser light is relatively eye-safe. Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF have achieved a significant milestone in this area: they have developed a system comprising three high-power thulium fiber lasers that emits light in the spectral range of 2030-2050 nm and achieves an output power to 1.91 kW. Almost twice as much as conventional systems (~1.1kW) - a performance record.

From 2035, the Einstein Telescope will be able to study gravitational waves with unprecedented accuracy. For the telescope, researchers from Jena have manufactured highly sensitive sensors made entirely of glass for the first time. Gravitational waves are distortions of space-time caused by extreme astrophysical events, such as the collision of black holes. These waves propagate at the speed of light and carry valuable information about such events through the universe. In future, the Einstein Telescope will measure these waves with unprecedented precision, making it a world-leading instrument for detecting gravitational waves. In order to minimize the impact of noise on the measurements, the telescope is to be built up to 300 metres underground. But even there, there are still mechanical vibrations, caused for example by distant earthquakes or road traffic above ground. Highly sensitive vibration sensors will measure these remaining vibrations.

STEM – this abbreviation stands for the disciplines of mathematics-computer science-natural sciences-technology. STEM is exciting and cool, Johannes Kretzschmar is convinced of this. The head of the Jena lighting workshop would like to convey this conviction. Together with his colleagues Canan Gallitschke and Dr. Theresia Palenta focuses on young women in particular. They are still a minority in most STEM disciplines, and the team wants to provide new access to this at an early stage. The key to this is in the Makerspace lighting workshop in the Abbe Center of Photonics; an open creative space for hobbyists and inventors, which first opened its doors to the public in 2017. In the next three years, the project “Hands-on! The STEM Makerspace” implemented. The ambitious goal is to attract 1,000 young women as participants of workshops and for exciting STEM projects at the interface to research and to permanently arouse the enthusiasm for STEM in them. Through “aha experiences”, more young women are to make a conscious decision for a STEM subject in their choice of study and career. The project is thus intended to contribute to closing the STEM gap: The labour market currently lacks more than 150,000 people in the STEM professions nationwide. For this reason, the Federal Ministry of Research is supporting the project with a total of 557,000 euros.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF is presenting a new photon source at SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco (January 28 to 30, 2025) that has been specially developed for the "Prepare-and-Measure" protocol of quantum communication. The components of the source are optimized for use in space. The concept of using strongly attenuated, randomly polarized light pulses for secure quantum communication has been around since the mid-1980s. Most commercial light sources for quantum communication are still based on this idea today. The biggest challenge here is to generate indistinguishable and randomly polarized photons at a high rate in a source that is as compact and energy-efficient as possible. Fraunhofer IOF in Jena has now developed a photon source based on a linear array of eight semiconductor lasers (VCSELs). It has a ultra-compact design, high spectral and temporal precision and good polarization quality. The system has been specially developed for secure connections from satellites to the ground station.

Making the invisible visibleExternal link
Researchers from Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the University of California Berkeley and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris use intense laser light in the extreme ultraviolet spectrum to generate a non-linear optical process on a laboratory scale – a process which until now has only been possible in a large-scale research facility. As the team writes in the current issue of the journal “Science Advances”, they were able to achieve this effect for the first time with a laser source on a laboratory scale and thus investigate the surface of a titanium sample down to the atomic level.

New 3D sensor scans transparent objectsExternal link
A new measurement method for 3D shape acquisition has been developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering IOF. With their “MWIR 3D sensor”, they can scan objects three-dimensionally, regardless of whether they are made of transparent plastic or glass. Even objects with shiny metallic or jet-black surfaces can be detected without any difficulties. Combining different materials is also no problem for the new 3D infrared sensor. In the field of 3D sensor technology, this degree of flexibility in the properties of the object is a first. Applications are conceivable in areas such as quality control in production and robotics.

Is the tissue healthy or pathologically altered? Is the antibiotic effective against a certain bacterium or is the bacterium resistant to it? Raman spectroscopy can help to answer such questions quickly and precisely. However, one challenge for the use of the light-based analysis method in everyday clinical practice is that the results can be highly sensitive to the measurement conditions.

Intelligent nanomaterials for photonicsExternal link
2D materials – nanosheets with atomic thickness – have enormous potential for a wide variety of applications. For instance, combined with optical fibres, 2D materials can enable novel applications in the areas of sensors, non-linear optics, and quantum technology. However, combining these two components has so far been very laborious. Typically, the atomically thin layers had to be produced separately before being transferred by hand onto the optical fibre. Together with Australian colleagues, Jena researchers have now succeeded for the first time in growing 2D materials directly on optical fibres. This approach significantly facilitates manufacturing of such hybrids.
