Dual-mode spectral imaging system employing a focus variable lens

• Erik Förster

  Erik Förster studied physical technology and laser- and optotechnology at the University of Applied Sciences Jena. He worked for several years at the Fraunhofer IOF Jena, department of microoptics, on the development of optical instruments for industrial applications. Currently he is PhD student at the University of Applied Sciences Jena, with focus on spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging.

  , Moritz Stürmer

  Moritz Stürmer is a PhD student at the IMTEK Laboratory for Microactuators at the University of Freiburg. His research focusses on adaptive optical components with integrated actuation, especially tunable lenses and switchable diffraction gratings.

  , Ulrike Wallrabe

  Ulrike Wallrabe studied physics at Karlsruhe University, Germany. In 1992 she received her PhD degree for mechanical engineering of microturbines and micromotors. From 1989 to 2003 she was with the Institute for Microstructure Technology at Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (today KIT) working on microactuators and Optical MEMS. She holds a Professorship for Microactuators at the Department of Microsystems Engineering, IMTEK, at the University of Freiburg, Germany, since 2003. Her work focus lies in magnetic microstructures including processes for magnetic materials and micro coils and in adaptive optics, using piezo actuators to tune elastic lenses and mirrors. In the year 2010 she was granted an internal fellowship at the Freiburg Institute of Advanced Studies, FRIAS. Since 2012 she is a member of the Cluster of Excellence BrainLinks-BrainTools.
