Dr. Christian Goßler leads the Goßler Group at the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience (IAN) at the University of Göttingen. The group focuses on developing advanced optical modules for cochlear implants using multi-channel waveguide technology, enabling high-resolution light transmission to spiral ganglion neurons in the inner ear.
- Key collaborators: Cretu Group, Huet Group, Jablonski Group, and other IAN research teams.
Their work involves red-wavelength laser diode arrays, micro-sized lens systems, and polymer-based waveguides optimized for flexibility and minimal optical crosstalk. Research emphasizes improving optical excitation of neurons via red-shifted opsins and refining waveguide manufacturing processes using microsystem technology.
Techniques include optical stray light analysis with top-view camera systems and motorized stages to enhance waveguide design efficiency. The group's innovations aim to advance optical cochlear implant systems for clinical applications.
