I find my visit to Jena most productive, intellectually stimulating and hope to develop long-term collaborations based on new contacts made here.
Prof. Dr. Igor Lednev, State University of New York, Albany, USA
I have seen many places worldwide: the Abbe Center is really a world-class operation, that’s for sure
Prof. Dr. Federico Capasso, Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
My stay at ACP was very enjoyable and stimulating and a great foundation for future collaboration and partnership.
Prof. Benjamin Eggleton, University of Sydney, Australia
I believe the Abbe Center of Photonics has the largest number of enthusiastic young researchers I ever met in any place of the world.
Prof. Yuri S. Kivshar, Australian National University, Canberra
Visitors‘ feedback 59
There is nowhere else in the photonics world like Jena. It seems to me that a huge proportion of Jena's 100,000 people are involved in some way in supporting a massive amount of optics and photonics research
Prof. David D. SampsonWinthrop Professor and Director of the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis (CMCA), The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia
The M.Sc. Photonics program at the Abbe School of Photonics at the Friedrich-Schiller-Universität in Jena is in my opinion the strongest anywhere
Prof. Martin C. RichardsonDirector of the Townes Laser Institute, College of Optics & Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida, USA
I valued enormously during my stay the interaction with about 80 students integrated at the Abbe Center of Photonics who were attending my lectures
Prof. Dr. Javier Aizpurua, University of the Basque Country, San Sebastián, the Basque Country, Spain
The ASP guest-professor program has been a wonderful platform for me to engage in both young-researcher training and in research collaborations
Prof. Dr. Asger Mortensen, Department of Photonics Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
Visitors‘ feedback 60
Visitors‘ feedback 61
I think that the level of research and teaching makes the ACP one of the best places to pursue a career in optics
Prof. Dr. Igal Brener, Sandia National Laboratories and Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
Jena offers a unique ecosystem of optics like nobody else could have, a perfect blend of fundamental research and real-life applications, and a vivid arena in that people both from academia and industry grow and thrive coherently
Prof. Dr. Wenshan Cai, Georgia Tech, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Jena is a world-class hub for optics, and I will certainly be spreading the word back in the USA that this is a place for collaborations, visits, and student exchange
Prof. Andrew Berger Associate Professor of Optics University of Rochester, NY, USA
