Collaboration

Partnerships for research, development, and technology transfer – from collaborative projects to tailored innovation solutions.

About SAL

Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

Microsystems

We develop next-generation MEMS and microsystems by integrating advanced materials, processes, and device technologies. Together with partners from industry and academia, we translate innovations into scalable prototypes for piezoelectric, photonic, and magnetic systems—thus bridging the gap from the initial idea through proof-of-concept to a production-ready prototype.

Projects

From fundamental research to industrial application, our projects drive innovation and create solutions for the technologies of tomorrow.

Indspeed

The INDSPEED project is developing a new ultra-precise magnetic encoder system based on TMR sensors and SmCo pole wheels.

Opal

OPAL focused on the development of SAL's first integrated optical phased array system for LIDAR applications. Special attention was paid to the selection of the optical photonics platform to achieve low-loss operation with high bandwidth….

CoRaLi-DAR

Im Rahmen des von der EU finanzierten CoRaLi-DAR-Projekts wird ein kostengünstiges, stromsparendes und zuverlässiges, fortschrittliches Sensor- und Entfernungsmesssystem als Plattform für den Automobilmarkt und darüber hinaus entwickelt. Ziel des Projekts ist es, sowohl funk- als auch lichtbasierte Sensorik in einem Modul zu vereinen und dabei die hochauflösenden Fähigkeiten von LiDAR sowie die hohe Zuverlässigkeit von RADAR unter widrigen Wetterbedingungen zu nutzen. …
