The Fiber Optical Sensor Systems department researches and fabricates nanostructured materials such as zinc oxide nanowires used as evanescent light conductors in sensor systems and nanogenerators, or black silicon, a new material for a future generation of solar cells for energy self-sufficiency in photonic microsensors. Development of such basic materials facilitates the evolution of novel concepts for photonic sensors with a broad range of uses in energy, security and medical technology.

The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute has introduced a new measuring system with which the forces that occur during sailing can be determined precisely at any point on the sail. This makes it possible to measure and adjust the optimal trim for wind, water conditions, and any other factors that might arise, and to retrieve them at any time. The system is based on "fiber Bragg grating" (FBG) sensors that are recorded in optical fibers.
