Projects from Prof. Dr.-Ing. J. Christoph Scheytt
Visible Light Sensing
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasingly being used as a primary light source both indoors and outdoors. In addition to their role as efficient lighting, LEDs also offer potential for new applications in sensor technology like visible light sensing (VLS) thanks to their high switching speed. VLS uses several terahertz (THz) of license-free ...

Blind radar for visual impaired people
The aim of this project is to develop an innovative assistance system for visually impaired people. It uses a 120 GHz FMCW radar that detects obstacles that are outside the range of a conventional cane. To make use as intuitive as possible for users, the radar system is integrated into a handy device. A special lens ensures that only objects within ...

Monolithically Integrated Opto-Electronic Frequency Synthesizer in Silicon Photonics
Low jitter signal sources are in widespread use for object detection, navigation systems, and ultra-high speed data communication systems. The jitter of the signal sources is dominated by the reference signal source which is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or a quartz oscillator. While these reference oscillators are standard for communication ...
