| RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES & EXPERTISES |
-
Glass
like coatings on glass, metal and fine ceramic powders
(mechanical strength, corrosion protection, electro-rheology,
decorative functions, photochromics, electrochromics)
-
Nano
composites, consisting of metal and semiconductor nano
particles in glass like and organic-inorganic hybrid matrices
and theoretical and experimental investigation of their linear
and nonlinear optical properties.
-
Development
of environmental friendly ceramic pigments based on
encapsulated nano particles.
-
Material
and technology development for passive and active planar
waveguides, based on SiO2-layers, Nanomer
materials, lead silicate glasses (sol-gel) and chalcogenide
glasses (melting)
-
Development
of new nano composites with special optical properties
-
Development
and characterisation of SiO2 gel and glass foils,
fibers and bulk samples
