The sensor system developed contains four channels, each with an excitation LED, optical filters and detectors for measuring light transmission and fluorescence. The channels are designed in such a way that they cover wide ranges of the visible spectrum and can thus be used for the detection of many different substances
A modular technology concept enables the efficient development of optical sensors with embedded light sources, micro-optics for beam shaping or steering, optical filters and an optimised detector array
Dr. Olaf Brodersen, Business Unit Manager MOEMS at the CiS Research Institute heads the new Funding Specialist Group in the International Trade Association for Microtechnology, Nanotechnology, New Materials and Optics & Photonics
According to a study published in 2003 by the NFO World Group, around 15 million people in Germany suffer from chronic pain. An interdisciplinary team of physicians, engineers and software developers wants to support their medical treatment
The competence triangle “Optical Microsystems” (KD OptiMi), located in the Jena – Ilmenau – Erfurt region, has distinguished itself as an outstanding centre for the innovative combination of optical technologies and microsystems technology within the framework of the funding programme “Top-level Research and Innovations in the New States”
To detect the need for accommodation, the so-called pupil near reflex must be measured. For this purpose, the CiS Research Institute is currently developing an optical sensor system that measures the pupil diameter and simultaneously the total brightness. From these signals, input control variables for the actuator-operated lens system are derived
The measurement of vital parameters in the field of health and sports has been common practice for many years. The development of patient-friendly, body-oriented sensor solutions for prevention, medical diagnostics and therapy are the focus of current R&D projects at the CiS Research Institute in Erfurt, Germany
The CiS Research Institute presents the concept of the OM 100 photon detector family at COMPAMED 2013. The core element is an energy-saving PIN photoreceiver that is independent of the ambient temperature and is used instead of an expensive and overload-sensitive photomultiplier
Close observation of the cardiovascular system can provide insights that can improve diagnostics and therapy. For the investigation of vascular dysregulation, the CiS Research Institute together with aviant GmbH from Jena developed a multisensory solution that can record ECG and photoplethysmographic parameters time-synchronously
