Sensor technology

Fraunhofer IPM covers a wide range of measurement tasks in the field of sensor technology: gas sensors, liquid sensors and solid-state sensors are as much a part of the portfolio as temperature sensors. With our research activities in the field of quantum sensors and quantum magnetometers, we are opening up new measurement-based possibilities for spectroscopy, process analytics and materials testing.

 

Thermal IR detectors

Micro-structured thermopile sensors based on bismuth telluride allow highly accurate temperature difference measurements.

 

Solid state gas sensors

Our gas sensors apply different measurement methods and are developed for use in a variety of applications.

 

Infrared radiators

We develop miniaturized components such as modulated infrared emitters or detectors using microsystems technology.
