20090263085 | DEVICE FOR INJECTING LIGHT INTO AN OPTICAL WAVE GUIDE - A device for injecting light into an optical wave guide is provided, via which a focused light beam is oriented by a manipulator. A simple and precise adjustment of maximum injection efficiency during the injection of light into optical wave guides is facilitated, by a manipulator, and the permanent fixing of the adjusted positions obtained during the adjustment of the injection. The device can include: a manipulator having an adjusting plate comprising an outer part, an inner part, and two spring arrangements which are positioned between the outer part and the inner part and can be adjusted independently of each other along two co-ordinate axes, each spring arrangement having a parallel spring arrangement guiding parallel to a certain direction, and a preliminary spring mounted in series; a fixing screw that can be introduced into the fixed housing part by an axial threaded borehole; and an axially elastic fixing disk. The inner part can be moved in the X direction and in the Y direction and comprises the optical system connected to the optical wave guide to be injected with light. The fixing disk can be pressed into the adjusting plate by the fixing screw screwed into the housing part, against the detachable housing part, in the direction of the passage of the beam, such that the adjusted position of the inner part is fixed. | 10-22-2009 |
20100254655 | OPTICAL PLUG CONNECTION FOR OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES - An optical plug connection for optical waveguides including a plug and a matching socket, and also a method for adjusting the plug connection. In the case of such a plug connection, the plug has at least one planar, smoothed contact area oriented with respect to a propagation direction of a light beam passing from or into the plug, for bearing on a corresponding planar, smoothed mating contact area of the socket that is oriented with respect to the propagation direction of the light beam. | 10-07-2010 |
20110176219 | APPARATUS FOR COMBINING INDIVIDUAL LIGHT BEAMS OF DIFFERENT WAVELENGTHS TO FORM A COAXIAL LIGHT BUNDLE - An apparatus for combining individual light beams to form a coaxial light bundle. The apparatus has a plurality of coupling-in positions, the number of which corresponds to the number of light beams, and also at least one coupling-out position. It is suitable for generating a collimated beam bundle as a multicolour source for use in digital image generation. The apparatus includes an apparatus base body with the coupling-in positions for the light beams and with a coupling-out position for the light bundle and adjusting devices for coaxially orienting the individual light beams relative to the beam direction of the light bundle. The coaxial light bundle can optionally emerge as free beam at the coupling-out position or into an optical waveguide via connecting elements. | 07-21-2011 |
