Fraunhofer IPMS at the International Laser and Photonics Fair
Summary
After two years of corona-related absence, it is now presenting some of its latest developments in the field of area light modulators at the International Laser and Photonics Fair in Japan. Fraunhofer IPMS is located at the show in Hall 8, Booth #52-10, where it will present, among other things, the latest developments for high-precision steering, controlling and shaping of light beams. Main applications of these micromirror arrays are in the fields of microlithography in the deep ultraviolet range, fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCB), semiconductor inspection and metrology as well as in ophthalmology, astronomy, holography and microscopy. In the process, millions of tiny mirrors are built onto a semiconductor chip, which bend the light in such a way that realistic 3D images are created as spatial projections. Novel camera systems based on spatial light modulators can remedy this situation, which are being realised and tested within the EU project SURPRISE.
