Medical Technology


Rapid advancements in medical diagnostics, analysis, and treatment would be unimaginable without optical and imaging technologies. The optoelectronic systems used in these applications must meet the highest standards and comply with strict regulatory requirements. This is where we support our partners in the medical technology sector.

Digital imaging technologies and optical measuring devices are the backbone of modern diagnostics.

Typical Applications

Digital imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), as well as optical instruments for measuring pulse, oxygen saturation, or even for PCR diagnostics, form the backbone of modern healthcare. To enable accurate diagnoses, safe procedures, and maximum reliability, these optical inspection and imaging systems must fulfill the highest standards of quality, safety, and hygiene. Minimally invasive procedures in particular rely on compact, high-performance optical systems that medical professionals can trust without compromise.

Tailored Solutions

Our technologies are used in the testing of endoscopes and optics for minimally invasive surgery and diagnostics, as well as in catheters with integrated optical sensors to monitor vital signs. The development of such miniaturized optical components requires maximum precision and that starts with advanced optical design. Cleanroom compatibility is equally crucial when manufacturing optical components for operating rooms, pharmaceutical production environments, or medical laboratories. In addition, we develop measurement systems for quality control of medical components such as contact lenses or fluid cartridges.

Projects


PCR Analysis using Fluorescence

PCR Analysis using Fluorescence

Modern Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis methods employ fluorescent markers to identify viruses with a high degree of specificity and selectivity. The challenge in optical system development in this case is that the fluorescence signals are often weak and easily influenced by external parameters. In addition, several different fluorescent markers are usually used simultaneously, making it challenging to differentiate them. It is therefore essential to carefully design the excitation and detection spectra to achieve precise detection.

UV Laser Beam Shapers for Refractive Eye Surgery

UV Laser Beam Shapers for Refractive Eye Surgery

In refractive eye surgery, UV lasers are used to correct vision impairments by precisely removing corneal tissue. A homogeneous and precisely defined beam profile is critical for this process. The laser beam shapers developed by DIOPTIC generate a super-Gaussian intensity profile with high reproducibility — all within a compact design that is easy to integrate into existing optical systems. The result: uniform tissue ablation that makes treatments particularly precise and gentle on the tissue.

Precision and Ergonomics in Microsurgery

Precision and Ergonomics in Microsurgery

In medical technology, precision and user-friendliness are critical for clinical success. Leveraging our expertise in stereo zoom lens development, we supported the Austrian company BHS Technologies in creating a new surgical visualization system: the RoboticScope. This robotic-assisted microscope combines advanced robotics with a head-mounted display (HMD). Surgeons control the camera system intuitively through head movements, enabling maximum freedom of motion and ergonomic posture in the operating room.
