Laser medicine, the ILM's original focus, is still an important topic at the ILM with innovation potential. In addition, we develop sensors for surgical instruments, diagnostic devices and lighting systems. The institute has particular experience in dental technology.

Here, the ILM covers the entire spectrum of optical technologies that can be used in the mouth, from the measurement of teeth, the rendering of teeth, caries diagnostics to the use of lasers and LEDs for therapy and disinfection.
