Did you know that Docter Optics has an innovation and development center at its headquarters in  Neustadt an der Orla? 🤩🤯🧐🤓

Currently our team is working on industrial replication processes for the production of Fresnel and diffractive lenses (ReMiS). 💥👀💡

The project is founded by the Federal State of Thuringia and is co-financed by the European Union as part of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). ✔️🙏  

Sounds great, but what is the purpose of this research?
Higher, faster, future driven are well know approchaes within the industry - with our research we are moving towards the latest market trends: smaller, lighter, more sustainable.  👨🔬📚📑

As an example:
By reducing the quantity of used materials and components within an optical system it is possible to shorten the installation depth.
Using sustainable multifunctional lenses offers complete new industrial solutions within the world projected images e.g. in fields like automotive lighting. ✌💹

The W3+ Fair in Jena has become a high-tech hotspot in Central Germany.

Thanks to the interdisciplinary approach, leading companies from photonics, optics, electronics, and mechanics come together here, including quite a few highly specialized hidden champions. Of course, we were there again in the last week of September to present our latest solutions. Cutting-edge technology was in the air and we were able to learn a lot about the latest developments and requirements in the German economy. As always, W3+ was also a great opportunity to make contacts across industry sectors and to develop ideas for future innovative projects together.
Thank you and see you next time.
