518. JENA Optics Col­lo­quium · Dr. Roman Kleindienst

2026 Oct 27 Tue

17:00 – 19:00

Since May 2018, the tra­di­tio­nal JENA Carl Zeiss Optics Col­lo­quium has con­tin­ued as the JENA Optics Col­lo­quium at the Abbe Cen­ter of Pho­to­nics on the Beu­ten­berg Cam­pus in Jena and online. It is open to ever­yone inte­res­ted from rese­arch, indus­try, and edu­ca­tion, and ser­ves as a forum for new tech­no­lo­gies in photonics.

For the 518th edi­tion of the col­lo­quium, we are plea­sed to wel­come Dr. Roman Klein­dienst and his presentation.

From Pre­cis­ion Optics to Mass-Mar­ket Inno­va­tion: Advan­ced Micro­op­tics for Aero­space and Auto­mo­tive Applications

Over the past decade, signi­fi­cant advan­ces in micro­op­ti­cal design, fabri­ca­tion, and inte­gra­tion tech­no­lo­gies have unlo­cked a wide range of new appli­ca­ti­ons, span­ning space sys­tems, data-cen­ter com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons, dis­plays, and advan­ced sens­ing solutions.

This pre­sen­ta­tion high­lights sel­ec­ted examp­les in which novel micro­op­tics manu­fac­tu­ring and inte­gra­tion approa­ches have enab­led breakth­rough dis­play and sen­sor sys­tems for aero­space and auto­mo­tive appli­ca­ti­ons. Empha­sis will be pla­ced on the tran­si­tion from highly spe­cia­li­zed micro­op­ti­cal solu­ti­ons deve­lo­ped for deman­ding semi­con­duc­tor and medi­cal tech­no­logy envi­ron­ments to sca­lable manu­fac­tu­ring plat­forms capa­ble of ser­ving medium- and high-volume markets.

The talk will pro­vide insight into the key tech­no­lo­gi­cal inno­va­tions that made this tran­si­tion pos­si­ble, inclu­ding high-pre­cis­ion fabri­ca­tion pro­ces­ses, advan­ced repli­ca­tion tech­no­lo­gies, and cost-effi­ci­ent inte­gra­tion con­cepts. These deve­lo­p­ments enable the deli­very of opti­cal com­pon­ents with excep­tio­nal per­for­mance, qua­lity, through­put, and cost competitiveness.

Through prac­ti­cal case stu­dies, atten­dees will gain an under­stan­ding of how micro­op­tics is evol­ving from a niche tech­no­logy into a key enabler for next-gene­ra­tion sens­ing and dis­play archi­tec­tures across incre­asingly deman­ding indus­trial applications.

Dr. Roman Kleindienst

Dr. Roman Klein­dienst has been lea­ding ZEISS Micro­op­tics since 2021. In this role, he is respon­si­ble for the deve­lo­p­ment, pro­duc­tion, and sales of inno­va­tive micro­op­tics- and holo­gra­phy-based solu­ti­ons for mar­kets inclu­ding semi­con­duc­tor tech­no­logy, medi­cal tech­no­logy, aero­space, auto­mo­tive, con­su­mer elec­tro­nics, and home technology.

Before joi­ning ZEISS in 2017, he spent eight years as Mana­ging Part­ner of Ilmenau Optics Solu­ti­ons GmbH.

He holds a doc­to­rate in engi­nee­ring (Dr.-Ing. / PhD) from Ilmenau Uni­ver­sity of Technology.

History

The JENA Optics Col­lo­quium traces its ori­g­ins to a lec­ture series initia­ted by the Jena Zeiss Works in 1971, initi­ally estab­lished for the con­ti­nuing edu­ca­tion of employees. By attrac­ting high-pro­file spea­k­ers, it quickly deve­lo­ped into an important dis­cus­sion forum for the country’s lea­ding optics experts.

After 1989, the col­lo­quium was con­tin­ued in coope­ra­tion with the Insti­tute of Applied Optics at the Uni­ver­sity of Jena, repre­sen­ted by Prof. Kowar­schik. With the invol­vement of lea­ding sci­en­tists and com­pa­nies, as well as coope­ra­tion with insti­tu­ti­ons inclu­ding Fraun­ho­fer IOF and Leib­niz IPHT, it gai­ned fur­ther significance.
