Welcome to the LZH
As an independent non-profit research institute for photonics and laser technology the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) stands for innovative research, development and consulting. The focus of our applied research in the field of photonic technologies is on:
- Optical components and systems
- Optical production technologies
- Biomedical photonics
Interdisciplinarity is thereby strongly emphasized since the foundation 1986 and is the basis of the excellent work at the LZH. As a reliable partner of the industry, we constantly focus on the customer benefit und use
“Light for innovation”.
Intelligent Protective Clothing for High-Output Lasers
In an EU project under the leadership of the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH), passive and active protective systems for jackets, trousers, aprons and gloves are being developed. This clothing offers effective protection against laser radiation with output densities of up to 20 Megawatts per square meter.
Solutions for your Market
Under the motto „Solutions for your Market“, the LZH will be showing their competence from the areas of precise laser components, innovative laser systems, laser precision processing and interesting applications for laser-based manufacturing technology.
Machines that Can Feel / Sensitive Machine Components with Laser Technology
Scientists use a trick to make the slightest strain on parts of a tooling machine visible. They can measure stress on the fly, or recognize a dull cutting tool at an early stage. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) will show how this stress gauge works at this year’s Hannover Messe, from April 8th to 12th.
