Expertise

Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics (Fh-CAP) is a not-for-profit applied research and technology organisation that exists to benefit UK industry and society. Our goal is to identify and address commercial and societal needs and opportunities with photonics-based solutions and to apply that knowledge for the benefit of our economy and citizens. Our project portfolio comprises programmes that are directly funded by industrial partners, programmes supported by government innovation funding and internal technology scoping activities. Fraunhofer personnel, many of them recognised leaders in their fields, have decades of academic & industrial experience in laser & optical design, miniaturisation, signal processing, laser sensing systems, product development, reflecting a strong record of delivering on collaborative projects. Fh-CAP’s applied R&D is ultimately measured through the impact that our considerable scientific capabilities and comprehensive technical expertise delivers for industry. Fh-CAP has in house mechanical and electronic design expertise from state-of-the-art industrial backgrounds. Their integration into our scientific team ensures that innovation and realisation occur hand in hand to maximise the impact of project outcomes.
