Innovation happens when science meets application. At innoFSPEC, our Transfer Lab brings together researchers and industry partners to transform photonics research into practical technologies. From idea to implementation, we drive innovation that benefits science, industry, and society.

Our Transfer Activities
Research in fiber-based spectroscopy and sensing holds great potential for innovation. With excellent infrastructure and expertise, innoFSPEC focuses on translating research results into practical applications.
Working with partners from science and industry at regional, national, and international levels, we conduct projects that range from fundamental research to applied development. Our application labs offer ideal conditions for collaboration between academia and high-tech companies. Beyond science and industry, our transfer activities also engage with policy makers and the public.
Together with regional, national and international partners from science and industry we do joint projects spanning the whole range of fundamental to applied research. In particular, our application labs offer excellent conditions for a close and fruitful collaboration between academia and high-tech industry. Besides specific scientific and industrial communities, transfer activities of innoFSPEC reach out to politics and the general public.
The Twin Character
The Transfer Lab serves as a bridge between research and industry, testing and adapting scientific methods for real-world use. Once potential partnerships are identified, initial feasibility studies are carried out — often leading to long-term collaborations between companies and the University of Potsdam.
Closely linked to the innoFSPEC Research Lab, the Transfer Lab shares infrastructure and expertise, combining fundamental and applied research under one roof. Together, they form a “twin laboratory” — uniting work in astrophotonics, multimodal spectroscopy, innovative materials and sensing with efforts to bring these results into practical application.
innoFSPEC operates at two sites in Golm: Building 60 (Mühlenberg 3) and Building 29.
Virtual Lab Tour
In collaboration with the OPAT JointLab, a virtual tour of the innoFSPEC laboratory at Mühlenberg 3 has been created. Here you can learn about our state-of-the-art research instruments and facilities. Come around and have a (virtual) look!
