Quickly informed about the most important projects and figures as well as about the diverse tasks of the ILM.

The ILM Annual Report is published once a year with exciting developments and events, awards, and extensive facts and figures.

Center for the Determination of Optical Properties at the Institute for Laser Technologies in Medicine and Metrology (ILM) at the University of Ulm.

The Center for the Determination of Optical Properties (ZoE) is part of the Department of Quantitative Imaging and Sensor Technology at the ILM.

The ILM wants to share its measurement capabilities and experience directly with customers* and industry. To this end, the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has funded the establishment of ZoE. This makes it the world's first center for determining the optical properties of scattering media. In the measuring stations of the ZoE, measurements in the wavelength range from about 250nm to 20μm are possible. They are the four relevant optical properties of radiative transfer theory (absorption coefficient, scattering coefficient, phase function and refractive index). Devices for the characterization of fluorescence and Raman scattering are also part of the ZoE. The spectrum is complemented by setups for measuring topography, angle-resolved scattering and roughness.
