Too far is inconvenient, and too close isn’t ideal either. The goal of distance measurement systems is to measure distances quickly and with repeatable accuracy, allowing manufacturing processes to run more smoothly and automatically. Optical measurement, including with IMM Photonics’ units, is the most precise method.

Whether laser diodes, VCSEL, QCL, or LED chips, IMM offers a wide range of semiconductors. Rare wavelengths, particularly narrow linewidths, or unusually high power levels are available to help your application take the next step.

Few things are as destructive as a fire. Early detection is crucial in preventing damage to people and property. Thanks to IMM’s optical modules, flame detectors respond quickly, increasing safety in your operation.

Do not lose a bit, but transmit billions of bits per second. Industrial communication networks rely on this, sometimes with components from IMM Photonics to regularly inspect the fiber optics within them.

More information in less space, loss-free and high-contrast. IMM Photonics’ units work reliably and efficiently in barcode scanners, ensuring that your supply chain remains fully traceable.

Tiny lengths are often measured interferometrically, whether they are changes or fixed distances. This requires lasers with constant power and linewidth—just like those from IMM Photonics.

Capturing the full picture pixel by pixel, in real-time and distortion-free. If image recognition and processing work automatically, accurately, and reliably, there could be IMM Photonics components inside.

The smaller the deviation, the smoother the operation of rotating machines. Shafts must be perfectly aligned, as anything else leads to imbalance. IMM Photonics lasers point the way to optimal positioning and alignment.

Visible markings, such as line or grid patterns, make production processes and construction projects easier. IMM Photonics’ line generators are durable, power-stable, and create easily visible patterns for clear guidance.

Functional surfaces, such as those of solar cells, require detailed inspection to detect potential defects and confirm high quality standards. IMM Photonics modules are used in surface inspection due to their accuracy and power stability.

Even a few particles are too many in a cleanroom. Using laser scattering to detect particles in air or liquids, you can quickly and accurately determine the quantity per volume, supported by IMM Photonics modules.

Precisely knowing the location and speed of objects helps avoid collisions. IMM Photonics offers laser units that assist with position sensing, ensuring correct movement and timely halts—precisely and continuously monitored.

Every manufacturing process must ensure product quality. IMM Photonics lasers contribute by detecting contamination or finely structuring surfaces.

Remote sensing is the essence of sensing technology. Whether pressure, temperature, or motion needs to be measured precisely, all of this can be done optically with the help of IMM Photonics components, ensuring automated and secure process control.

As photons increasingly take over data processing, silicon photonics comes into play. Optics at the heart of electronics—faster and more energy-efficient. IMM Photonics components are used in this field as well.

Light-sensitive adhesives and inks were previously cured with UV lamps. IMM Photonics’ modern LED sources achieve the same effect faster and with much less power consumption. Time and money saved—and the environment protected!
