Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany (LMU)

The main objective of the workgroup lead by R. Huber at LMU is fundamental and applied research in photonics with special focus on Fourier Domain Mode Locking (FDML), optical coherent ranging and optical coherence tomography as well as spectroscopy.

LMU will be leading the work on light source technology (WP 2) with the main task of developing fast wavelength swept lasers for OCT based functional imaging systems. The lasers will be based on FDML technology and on stretched Femtosecond pulses. Additionally, LMU will be involved in the OCT system technology work aiming at the integration of high speed capability into the functional OCT systems (WP 4,5,7).

People

Robert Huber is an independent Junior Research Group Leader at the Chair for BioMolecular Optics (Prof. W. Zinth) at the Faculty of Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. At the Chair for BioMolecular Optics extensive facilities for optics and laser technology are provided. A permanent staff (4 persons) in an optics as well as a mechanics workshop aid development efforts. The research efforts further benefit from a good communication and the extensive photonics and laser optics background of Prof. W. Zinth and Prof. E. Riedle.
