Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques IPMThe department of Gas and Process Technology, headed by Prof Jürgen Wöllenstein, develops and manufactures measuring and control systems to meet customer requirements. The main features of these systems are short measurement times, high precision and reliability, even in extreme conditions.
Our expertise includes laser spectroscopic methods for gas analysis, energy-efficient gas sensors, particle measuring technology, thermal sensors and systems as well as nonlinear optics and, as of late, quantum sensing. The scope of applications is massive – it extends from flue gas analysis and transport monitoring for food to sensors and systems for measuring very small temperature differentials.
