Apprenticeship in optics and photonics in Jena

Light has long since opened up a new technological universe for us. Be it for leisure, communicating with friends or maintaining our health: applications with light have changed our world. Technologies that use light as a tool or deal with its generation and transmission are summarised under the term photonics. In the photonics industry, researchers are working on high-performance lasers, developers are working on ultra-flat cameras and space experts are sending sensitive sensors on missions to Mars.

A young crew on the ‘Mission Light’ also has great opportunities to help shape our lives with their knowledge and skills. We visited seven experts of tomorrow who have decided to train in photonics and went on a journey with them through their day-to-day work. Discover with them a world full of challenges and a secure profession for your future.
