Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT
Booth number: 4105-26
About us
With over 480 employees, more than 19,500 m² net floor space the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT is one of the world's most important contract research and development institutes in the fields of laser development and laser applications. Our core competencies include the development of new laser beam sources and components, laser measurement and testing technology, and laser manufacturing technology. This includes cutting, ablation, drilling, welding and soldering as well as surface finishing, micro manufacturing and additive manufacturing, among others. The areas of application for laser beam sources and processes include production and metrology, energy and mobility, medical and environmental technology, and quantum technology. Together with excellent partners from 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.
