Photoacoustic gas sensors with reference gas sensor
The focus of the completed PAS research project was the development of a piezoresistive microphone component based on micromechanical systems (MEMS) for highly integrated photoacoustic gas sensors. The sensor is suitable for an application range from -40⁰C to 140⁰C. Applications are in the field of climate and environmental protection to improve energy management, air quality testing or in medical technology as highly sensitive breathing gas sensors.
Defect mechanisms in silicon – Lectures at the DPG Spring Conference in Berlin
From 17th-22nd March 2024, the Sektion Kondensierte Materie (SMK) of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft e. V. (DPG) together with its specialist associations and working groups is organizing the DPG Spring Conference on the campus of the Technical University of Berlin. In four contributions, Dr. Kevin Lauer and young researchers will present their latest scientific results on various defect mechanisms in silicon at different doping levels and invite discussion
Evaluation of quantum materials in industrial pressure sensors
At the CiS Research Institute, pressure sensors based on NV centers in diamond were produced using industrial manufacturing methods in cooperation with partners from industry and science. The results of the Qind research project will be presented at the 28th Hasselt Diamond Workshop SBDD
Innovative isothermal sensor with front cavities
In the completed NIVo research project, a new thermopile sensor was developed that works on the principle of isothermal detection of infrared radiation and is exempt from the front side. This combination enables the production of a new type of high-performance sensor in the field of thermography

Successful week at SPIE.Photonics West
A successful week at SPIE.Photonics West in San Francisco came to an end yesterday. The trade fair is an international event for solutions, components and system support for the optics and photonics industry
Optical sensor systems at SPIE.Photonics West in San Francisco
On 30th January 2024, SPIE Photonics West will start in San Francisco, one of the international events for solutions, components and system support for the optics and photonics industry. The CiS Forschungsinstitut will once again be exhibiting at the German Pavilion in Hall F at booth 4205-05 in the Moscone Center. We will also be represented with five contributions at the accompanying conferences, which begin on 27th January 2024
NanoSense – Development of a hardness measuring head based on a novel combined force-displacement sensor
As part of the ZIM cooperation project NanoSense, the CiS Forschungsinstitut, together with two other partners, developed a measuring head for hardness measurement for integration into universal testing machines and xy manipulators, in which the measuring distance and measuring force are in line with each other
Highly sensitive low-noise blue-violet avalanche photodiode for diagnostics
A research team from the CiS Research Institute has developed highly sensitive, low-noise avalanche photodiodes for the blue-violet light range. The new component structure and the associated optimized field distribution reduce the additional noise factor. These new BVAPs with very low noise are suitable for fluorescence analysis in biological and medical diagnostics, for example
