    NKT Photonics (Birkerød, Denmark) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering (IOF; Jena, Germany) have formed a strategic research alliance in which NKT Photonics will license parts of its photonic crystal fiber (PCF) technology.

    Fraunhofer IOF has been a partner and customer of NKT Photonics for many years, and holds numerous fiber laser performance records using jointly developed fibers from the company.

    In 2017, Fraunhofer IOF will open a PCF facility with a mission of conducting application-oriented research in optical systems engineering, especially in production, healthcare, and security, according to Prof. Dr. Andreas Tünnermann, director of Fraunhofer IOF.
