Active projects
MicroQuaD
The MicroQuaD project will introduce the first commercial SNSPD-based microscopy system, allowing for ultra-fast and precise time-resolved measurements of fluorescence emission in the visible and the NIR wavelength range at a currently unmatched performance.
Funded within the ATTRACT phase 2 R&D&I program.
E2TPA
This project aims to fill the currently existing gaps between theory and experiment on entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA).
Funded by the BMBF in the program "Quantentechnologien – von den Grundlagen zum Markt" (project 13N1635N)
LIVE2QMIC
The goal of this project is the development of entangled photon sources as a new type of excitation source for fluorescence based microscopy applications.
Funded by the BMBF in the program "Quantentechnologien – von den Grundlagen zum Markt" (project 13N15953)
Former projects
NG-FLIM
The project NG-FLIM will realize a microscope system with highest spatial and temporal resolution, which allows to observe molecules faster, easier and more accurate than before. Different optical methods will be combined to improve image contrast and deep-learning based data analysis will be applied for automated data evaluation.
Funded by the BMBF in the program "Photonics Research Germany" (project 13N15324)
QuPAD
The goal of this project is the development of a multichannel detector array based on nanowires along with a corresponding TCSPC module for parallel data acquisition and processing.
Funded by the BMBF in the program "Photonics Research Germany" (project 13N14953)
BeOptical
BE-OPTICAL provides a unique and structured training programme to 14 ESRs in a wide range of optical imaging technologies and signal processing tools, including fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy, optical coherence tomography, optogenetics, engineered nanomaterials and signal processing tools.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 675512.
BitMap
The vision of the project is to develop a suite of standardised non-invasive devices that will provide essential information about brain health in neurocritical care and neuromonitoring, with a particular emphasis on 1. traumatic brain injury: the “silent epidemic of the third millennium” and 2. hypoxia in newborn children.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 675332.
FiSequr
The project ultimate goal is to develop a practical efficient single photon source with an optically excited semiconductor QD as an emitter, which will provide single photons on demand and will be suitable for local area secure data transfer (e.g., quantum key distribution - QKD) in the 2nd telecommunication window (1.3 µm range).
Funded by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union in the framework of Pro Fit projects
iMiLQ
The aim of the project is to realize two demonstrator devices:
- a micro-integrated, ultra-short bandwidth diode laser module
- a monolithic resonant single photon source.
Funded by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union in the framework of Pro Fit projects
BabyLux
This project aims to provide an innovative and reliable tool to monitor and assess brain blood flow and oxygenation in extremely preterm neonates.
Funded by the European Union under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme 2007-2013 (Grant agreement n. 620996)
Switch-Click-Microscopy
The goal of this project is the research on new biomedical tools for high-resolution imaging of cellular and viral structures using HIV as an example. New labelling methods shall be developed that permit imaging of relevant proteins and and their dynamic with high spatial (approx. 20 nm) and temporal (approx. 100 ms) resolution.
Funded by BMBF in the BioPhotonik program (project 13N13681)
T-Cam4Life
The goal of this project is the development of a multiparameter, ultrasensitive and fast widefield camera for research in order to monitor and manipulate biological processes in living cells.
Funded by BMBF in the BioPhotonik program (project 13N12672)
