Using light as a high precision mesuring tool: on December 4th and 5th, we had our 34th SAOT Workshop - Optical sensing in Turbid Media. Thank you again to our invited speakers, namely Igor Meglinski, Peter Andersen, Zeev Zalevsky, André C. Stiel, Fanuel Mehari, Dr.-Ing, Vincent Motto-Ros, Hasan ...

The book series "Experimentalphysik" by Wolfgang Demtröder is well known among students. SAOT will contribute to the next edition of the second volume of this series. We therefore visited three optics labs for exclusive video insights into research related to the book topics. Those videos will be...

On October 2nd, around 20 pupils aged eight to ten visited our panOPTICUM science center. Their visit was part of the Kinderuni Erlangen 2023, a new FAU format in which children get an insight into the work and research of the university. Dr. Max Gmelch gave a tour about the wonders of light a...

At the Long Night of Sciences last Saturday, more than 700 people visited our new Science Center panOPTICUM to learn about photonics and optical technologies. Thank you for your curiosity, and a big thank you to the SAOT doctoral candidates who explained all the experiments to the visitors. See y...

When characterizing hazardous materials such as toxic liquids, the less material you need for investigation, the better. This especially applies for harsh and extreme measurement conditions like high pressure or increased temperature. As described in their recent publication “Extreme thermodynamics ...

On October 9th, we will open our Science Center on Photonics and Optical Technologies panOPTICUM. https://www.saot.fau.de/panopticum/

Stell dich ans Lichtmischpult und tauche den Raum in die Farbe deiner Wahl. Bring damit Blumen zum Blühen und Smarties zum Leuchten. Und lass Zeichen und Formen verschwinden und erscheinen.

Mach deinen Atem sichtbar. Sieh, wie warme Luft von deiner Hand aufsteigt. Und erlebe, wie viel Energie in einem Feuerzeug stecken kann.

Sieh dir die Welt aus einer völlig neuen Perspektive an: Dem Mikrokosmos. Untersuche dein Smartphone mit dem Mikroskop. Oder baue selbst ein Mikroskop.
