The Institute for Precision Machining and High Frequency Technology (IPH) accommodates professors, scientific and technical staff, who evolved from the research group Labor Optical Engineering (LOE) in Deggendorf and the Campus Teisnach. Today, they have access to the laboratories at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) and the Campus Teisnach. In contrast to university institutes, we are characterised by our focus on practical orientation and work closely with industry partners.
The IPH focuses on optical technologies, process development and optimisation, metrology and high-frequency technology. The university has acquired these skills over many years and they can thus be used efficiently for partners, economic clients and services. This enables us to offer you high-precision optics, whether spheres, aspheres or freeforms. Thereby we have specialized in single pieces and small series. In addition, we can draw on a wealth of experience in the processing of technical glass, ceramics, crystals and special materials.
Research projects on industry 4.0 also aim at interdisciplinary cooperation between IPH and the research areas of DIT. The research group develops scientifically founded and practice-oriented solution strategies in the faculties of DIT and in the eleven Technology Campuses. Marketable, optimised products, processes and services are established in close cooperation with companies in this economic sector.

Student project telescope construction:
At DIT, the research focus precision optics has become a tradition. DIT also knows how to convince in the fields of construction, control and measuring technology, optical systems and microelectronics. This insight led to a cross-faculty project.
One topic that is suitable for this is the development and construction of a telescope. The project is divided into several project teams, each of which is responsible for the development and implementation of a telescope module.
In order to ensure the success of the project, the organization of the project will be organized within the framework of the general scientific elective subject (AWP at least 2 SWS) "Telescope Construction". The aim of the AWP is to build a functioning telescope and to teach methodological and social skills.
At the start of the project, a working group is working on the state of the art in science and technology on the subject of Schiefspiegler. This serves together with the very general project specifications of the basic technical definition.
Project and sub-project leads:
- Prof. Dr. Gerald Fütterer (AWP Verantwortung)
- Prof. Dr. Robert Geigenfeind (Teleskopie und Astronomie)
- Prof. Dr. Michael Moritz (Optisches System)
- Prof. Dr. Rolf Rascher (Fertigungstechnik)
Lecture AWP: Prof. Dr. Gerald Fütterer
Involved Faculties and Courses of Studies: NuW, Engineering Physics and Industrial Engineering, MB-MK: Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, EMT: Elektro- und Informationstechnik, AI: Angewandte Informatik /Infotronik
Shortly after the office in Teisnach was opened on 9 October 2009, a group of interested local citizens and representatives of institutions met on 15 January 2010 to found a support association. The aim of the association is to generate financial resources through events to support projects that are neither financed by the state nor by the municipality.
