--

The AstroTechTalk (ger) offers a place to discuss, for all interested colleagues and especially for the technical departments, the project leaders, the administration and the scientists as the ultimately users:

status of instrumentation projects
scientific tasks and features of the instruments in construction or planned
new possible involvements
technical innovations and developments
technical problems and their solutions
logistical problems and their solutions
how to improve operation and observation
project standards.

Time: Always Fridays 11:00 - 12:00 (during the construction work: 10:00 - 11:00)

Location: MPIA Hoersaal (during the construction work: HdA Auditorium)

Outline:

Announcements (news, visitors, etc.) (mainly in German)
Talk of about 30 min about a selected topic (German or English, will be announced)
Follow up discussion and questions (German or English, depending on the speaker)

13.03.2020	Thomas Ruppel (SwissOptic AG)	Modern fabrication of high-precision-optics - a journey along the optical manufacturing chain In many cases our society's development is driven by the progress in photonic technologies. Take for instance: Steadily shrinking semiconductor structures allow for digital systems of higher performance, modern optical surgery is key for a broad treatment of a population, which is getting older and older, and air or space borne high-performance optical components are vital for environmental surveillance with optical communication at a daily growing data rate. Prerequisites behind all these applications are typically very precise optical components like beam splitters, mirrors, lenses or polarization optics, which have to be produced in high quantity and very high quality. In the context of this talk the requirements for those components and the manufacturing steps will be presented. In some outstanding cases even exotic ideas and technologies are necessary, which will be explained by practical examples. Presentation: German Slides: English Questions: German, English
