Collaborative Research Centre SFB 622 “Nanopositioning and Nanomeasuring Machines”

Project logo:

Area of relevance:

Nanotechnology

Duration:

1 July 2009 - 30 June 2013

Affiliation:

TU Ilmenau

Funded by:

German Research Foundation (DFG)

Abstract:

The goal of SFB 622 involves the formulation of the scientific fundamentals for technological apparatus allowing the positioning, contact, measurement, analysis, modification and manipulation of three-dimensional object in the volume range up to 450 mm x 450 mm x 80 mm with nanometre precision. In order to achieve this goal, sophisticated theoretical and experimental investigations must be performed into innovative components and into the entire behaviour of nanopositioning and nanomeasuring machines. The goals can only be effectively achieved through optimal collaboration between different scientific fields, such as metrology, measurement engineering, nanoanalytics, actuator technology, mechanics, optics, electronics, design, materials engineering, control engineering and signal processing technology.

Brochure and Web Gallery

The new EOS brochure "How optics and photonics address Europe's challenges of the 21sts century" is a collection of ongoing and future research projects conducted by researchers from European research laboratories, industries and universities. Targeted at scientists, politicians and the broad public alike, it illustrates novel optics and photonics-based solutions for the fields of health, environment, energy, production, information & communication and security.
