DPG Physics School “Applied Photonics 2021”
                                        Organized by

                                      Walter Neu
               Hochschule Emden/Leer - University of Applied Sciences,

Dear Colleagues,
on behalf of the DPG it’s my pleasure to finally announce the new date for the Physics
School on Applied Photonics 2021. Due to the current developments and proven hygiene
concepts at the DPG I’m very confident that the Physics School will take place in person
during September 05th to 10th, 2021.
However, depending on the Covid-19 pandemic and progress in vaccination the school’s
lectures will also by accessible via live stream for participants who cannot make it to Bad
Honnef. No fees will be charged for online participation.
The school “Applied Photonics” covers fundamentals in photonics as well as advancing
research topics and applications of a key technology that is seen as one of the most
important building blocks in future technological innovation. Photonic systems are ubiquitous
in modern life, like e.g. in metrology, biomedical applications, space and earth exploration,
production technologies, information processing and imaging.
Topics include: Physics and engineering basics, a hands-on workshop in optical design and
simulation software, a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art techniques including
nanooptics, space sciences, laser systems in industrial applications and micro-processing,
biophotonics and medical laser therapies, spectroscopy and optical metrology.
Each day of the school is dedicated to a main topic addressed by leading researchers,
engineers, and practitioners from renowned companies as well as large scale research
facilities. The speakers provide insights into the industry and research landscape, career
paths, and upcoming technologies:
   •   Dr.-Ing. e.h. Thomas Reiter (Astronaut, ESOC European Space Operations Centre,
       ESA Interagency Coordinator and Advisor to the Director General, Darmstadt,
       Germany)
   •   Prof. Dr. Halina Rubinsztein-Dunlop (Director of the Quantum Science Laboratory,
       University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia)
   •   Dr. Ludwin Monz (Member of the Executive Board Carl Zeiss AG; President and
       CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany)
   •   Prof. Dr. Andreas Hielscher (Biomedical engineering, Electrical engineering and
       Radiology, Columbia University, New York, USA)
   •   Dr. Jens Lassen (TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear
       physics and accelerator-based science, Vancouver, Canada)
   •   Dr. Heiner Voges (Member of Board of Management and CEO, LaVision GmbH,
       Göttingen, Germany)
   •   Prof. Dr. Oliver Zielinski (Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine
       Environment (ICBM) and Head of DFKI, University Oldenburg)
   •   Dr. Fritz Merkle (Member of the Executive Board OHB, Member of the Senate of the
       German Aerospace Center)

•   Prof. Dr. Lothar Lilge (Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Princess Margaret
       Cancer Centre, Canada)
   •   Prof. Dr. Claus Lämmerzahl (Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity
       (ZARM), University of Bremen, Germany)

The school is open to enthusiastic advanced undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students,
and professionals from all over the world, especially for those seeking a career in academia
or industry. The applications will be registered on a first-come-first-serve basis - the number
of participants in person is limited to 80.
If you know for sure, that you cannot take part in person you still can apply for live
streaming the School by email to Victor Gomer. This email needs to claim in the
subject line "Application to Applied Photonics 2021" and provide at least your full
name and affiliation.
I’m looking forward to applications and hope to welcome the attendees in person to the
forthcoming DPG Physics School „Applied Photonics 2021“ in Bad Honnef.
