Since 2014 the IKV has been organising the two-day conference Aachen Polymer Optics Days together with the Fraunhofer Institutes IPT and ILT. This year, the event was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of cancelling this year's conference without replacement, the organisers are now focusing on an online series of events.
IKV
IKV Digital event series on plastic optics production
From December 2020 to November 2021, the online sessions will be held quarterly on various topics.The online session ‘Injection moulded optics’ is the first of the online series of events. The online sessions offer numerous specialist lectures aimed at an audience from science and industry. Following the presentation part, a networking and discussion session will be moderated by the photonics consortium EPIC, which offers participants the opportunity to address interdisciplinary questions and interests. The language of presentation and discussion will be English.
The programme begins on 1 December 2020 at 14:00 CET with ‘Production of injection-molded optical components with optically effective microstructures’ presented by Norbert Heyer, KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH, Germany.
At 14:30, ‘Process simulation of multilayer lenses’ will be presented by Cristoph Hinse, SimpaTec GmbH, Germany, followed at 15:00 by ‘Requirements for optics in occupational safety using the example of eye and face protection’ presented by Dr. Marco Wacker, Uvex Arbeitsschutz GmbH, Germany.
The final two session son the day will be ‘Surface modification of injection moulded LSR optics’ presented by Andreas Schäfert, Wilhelm Weber GmbH & Co.KG, Germany, and anetworking and discussion moderated by Jose Pozo, EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium.
