The Fraunhofer Society (German: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V., lit. 'Fraunhofer Society for the Advancement of Applied Research' [note 1]) is a German publicly-owned research organization with 76 institutes spread throughout Germany, each focusing on different fields of applied science (as opposed to the Max Planck Society, which works primarily on ...
Joseph Fraunhofer was the 11th child, born into a Roman Catholic family [3] in Straubing, in the Electorate of Bavaria, to Franz Xaver Fraunhofer and Maria Anna Fröhlich. [4] His father and paternal grandfather Johann Michael had been master glassmakers in Straubing.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research (Fraunhofer ISI) is part of the Fraunhofer Society for the promotion of Applied Research e.V. (FhG), Europe’s largest application-oriented research organization. [1] The institute is based in Karlsruhe.
Fraunhofer may refer to: Joseph von Fraunhofer (1787–1826), German physicist; Fraunhofer (crater), a lunar crater; Fraunhofer Society (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft), a large German research organization; Fraunhofer diffraction, far-field diffraction; Fraunhofer lines, spectral lines of the Sun; Fraunhofer distance, between near field and far field
The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute develops mobile and stationary broadband communication networks and multimedia systems. Focal points of independent and contract research conducted by Fraunhofer HHI are photonic components and systems, fiber optic sensor systems, and image signal processing and transmission.
In July 2006, the Fraunhofer IOF opened the Center for Advanced Micro- and Nano-Optics (CMN-Optics). The core of the facility is the SB350-OS electron beam lithography system. This device, also known as an "electron beam recorder", allows minimal structure sizes in the range of 50 nm with a high accuracy on substrate sizes up to 300 mm.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials IWM (German: Fraunhofer-Institut für Werkstoffmechanik) in Freiburg, Germany, is a division of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft which focuses upon application-oriented research. The Fraunhofer IWM is a research and development partner for both industry and public institutions whose themes include ...
The Fraunhofer lines are typical spectral absorption lines. Absorption lines are narrow regions of decreased intensity in a spectrum, which are the result of photons being absorbed as light passes from the source to the detector. In the Sun, Fraunhofer lines are a result of gas in the Sun's atmosphere and outer photosphere. These regions have ...
