'''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) [[BR]]Proposals for talks: Please send an email to "hofferbert -at- mpia.de" or "naranjo -at- mpia.de" - alternatively you might reach us by phone (06221-528209 or -290) or in person (room 211 or 018) at MPIA. ||'''Date''' ||'''Speaker ''' ||'''Topic''' || || 17.01.2020 || || || || 24.01.2020 || || || || 31.01.2020 (10hrs, MPIA Hoersaal) || Kathryn Kreckel and Tom Herbst || LVM Focal Planes || || 07.02.2020 || Zoltan Hubert (University of Grenoble) ||MAORY after the redesign || || 14.02.2020 || || || || 21.02.2020 || Dipl.-Ing.

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.[[BR]] [[BR]]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.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2019S2/2019-11-29_SwissOptic.pdf Slides: English] [[BR]]Questions: German, English || || 20.03.2020 || || || || 27.03.2020 || || || || 03.04.2020 || || || || 10.04.2020 || -- || Good Friday || || 17.04.2020 || -- || Easter break || || 24.04.2020 || || || || 01.05.2020 || -- || Labor Day || || 08.05.2020 || || || || 15.05.2020 || || || || 22.05.2020 || -- || Bridge day after Ascension Day || || 29.05.2020 || || || || 05.06.2020 || -- || Pentecost break || || 12.06.2020 || -- || Pentecost break || || 19.06.2020 || || || || 26.06.2020 || || || || 03.07.2020 || || || || 10.07.2020 || || || || 17.07.2020 || || || || 24.07.2020 || || Last talk before summer break || '''Preview:''' DD.MM.2020 - Speaker: Title '''Postview:''' [wiki:OldPresentations2014S2 Presentations from 12.09. - 31.12.2014] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2019S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2019] [wiki:OldPresentations2019S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2019] [wiki:OldPresentations2020S1 Presentations 2020S1]
