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. 

 

Thermal IR detectors

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

 

Infrared radiators

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

 

Semiconductor gas sensors

We develop miniaturized, low-power MOX gas sensors, from gas-sensitive material to methods of production.
