CiS at the SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco
The SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, the world’s largest event for photonic technologies, will start on Saturday with three conferences and two trade fairs
Workshop FUTURE of Silicon Detector Technologies
/in Events, MOEMS, Quantum, Silicon Detectors, Simulation & DesignWith the FUTURE of Silicon Detector Technologies workshop, exciting research and development tasks in the field of high-energy physics and related device development were again discussed. The two-day workshop focused on topics such as detectors for high-energy and heavy-ion physics as well as requirements and solutions for a variety of application areas
06.02.2018: CiS at SPIE Photonics West 2018
/in Events, MOEMS, Packaging, Photonic, WaferprocessingFor the first time, CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik GmbH was represented as an exhibitor at SPIE Photonics West 2018 in San Francisco. As one of 70 German exhibitors in the German Pavilion in the North Hall of the Moscone Center, the CiS Research Institute demonstrated its expertise in the design as well as the manufacture and assembly of customised optical microsensors
Contactless measurement of blood flow
/in Medical technology, MOEMSThe micro laser Doppler sensor (MiLD) aims to measure the velocity of light-scattering objects and can be used for in vivo assessment of the flow velocity of blood in the skin. Numerous disease symptoms and healing processes can be monitored
New sensor technologies for tracking blood pressure changes
/in Medical technology, MOEMS, Simulation & DesignThe CiS Research Institute has been developing miniaturised, silicon-integrated, multispectral photoplethysmography sensors for well over a decade. The tiny sensors are placed in the external auditory canal and are individually adapted to the patient
Point-of-care test system with multi-parameter sensor technology
/in Analytics, Medical technology, MOEMSA multi-channel measuring head for investigations on sample volumes in the nanolitre range has been developed by the CiS Research Institute together with international partners within the framework of the European research project “SMARTER-SI” (GA-Nr. 644596). The principle is based on fluorescence and absorption measurement on an array of different enzyme pixels
Mounting UV LEDs flexibly and efficiently – Fully automatic micro-assembly centre with diversity
/in MOEMS, Packaging, UVA new micro-assembly centre expands the technological basis for the development of technological solutions for the fully automated assembly of application-specific UV LED modules in different series sizes and designs, whether as single LED sources or area lamps.
The modular system concept enables the most important AVT assembly steps to be carried out in one unit
Miniaturised UV LED illumination with multiple wavelengths
/in Medical technology, MOEMS, UVThe CiS Research Institute has expanded its opto-electronic competencies to develop multispectral UV light sources for fluorescence and absorbance measurements. Manufacturers of measuring instruments for bioanalytics and medical technology can thus build significantly smaller systems and open up new fields of application. In addition, users of this technology also benefit from low system costs
Fast and small spectral sensors for fibre Bragg gratings
/in MOEMS, PackagingThe MEMS technologies available and further developed at the CiS Research Institute were the basis for the development of a new generation of spectral sensors consisting of two detector chips stacked on top of each other. Each covers a specific spectral range. The upper diode is only 50 µm thin
Microsensing the direction of light incidence
/in MOEMSThe CiS Research Institute has developed a tiny microchip to determine the direction of light incidence. The small design and simple integrability as well as the MEMS manufacturing technology suitable for mass production distinguish the component. The monolithic sensor is based on four integrated photodiodes in a 3D-structured silicon substrate
