51,5 million in the 2020 financial year. The Fraunhofer IOF has been headed by Andreas Tünnermann since 2003, who is also Director of the Institute of Applied Physics at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena. The institute has excellently equipped laboratories on an area of 3830 m² plus 1115 m² clean room (ISO class 1 - ISO class 7), a mechanics workshop meeting the highest demands as well as a test field for extensive testing and demonstration purposes. In the years 2002 and 2013 expansion facilities were built on the Beutenberg Campus in Jena. In 2017 a fiber technology center was inaugurated at Fraunhofer IOF, which includes new special laboratories for the production of active and passive micro- and nanostructured optical fibers and one of the world's most powerful fiber drawing towers. Awards German Future Prize 2007 In cooperation with the semi-conductor manufacturer company Osram Opto Semiconductors from Regensburg, researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute in Jena, headed by Andreas Bräuer, received the German Future Prize worth EUR 250,000 on December 6. Their innovation consisted of improved chips, packages and a special optical system that enable more powerful light-emitting diodes. German Future Prize 2013 Stefan Nolte from the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF) and Friedrich Schiller University Jena were together with Jens König (Robert Bosch GmbH) and Dirk Sutter (Trumpf Lasers) awarded for their work with ultra-short pulse lasers on December 4, 2013. German Future Prize 2020 For their project "EUV Lithography - New Light for the Digital Age", the team of experts led by Sergiy Yulin (Fraunhofer IOF), Peter Kürz (ZEISS Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (SMT) division), and Michael Kösters (TRUMPF Lasersystems for Semiconductor Manufacturing) was awarded the prize for technology and innovation.
