Abstract

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for testing the optical properties of a composite optical component which includes a multiplicity of connected transparent elements and reflection layers which are arranged so that light introduced at an input portion is split in a first segment of the composite component with a plurality of transparent elements into a multiplicity of first partial beams, which are guided along different paths in the composite component. The first partial beams are partially reflected multiple times in a second segment which also includes a plurality of transparent elements, so that a plurality of second partial beams emerges from a side face due to the partial reflection. The second partial beams are recorded by a detector, and a quality coefficient is ascertained for a plurality of second partial beams selected according to an aggregation rule so the quality coefficient is assigned to a particular part of the composite component.

Abstract

A method for coating a substrate and a respectively coated substrate. The created coating is characterized by a crystalline and dense structure which is particularly suitable for applying further layers of coatings onto it. The method uses a plasma for curing the applied solution instead of a thermal curing and is, hence, faster, less energy consuming, and applicable to more temperature sensitive substrates.

Abstract

A process includes directing a laser beam at a glass strip so it traverses a line in a drawing direction of the horizontally moving glass strip. A point of incidence of the laser beam is chosen so the line forms an envisaged dividing line between a useful region and a thickened edge region and the point of incidence on the glass is at a position where a temperature of the glass is within a range between an upper viscosity of 1010 dPas and a lower viscosity of 1015 dPas. The laser beam photothermally processes the glass strip so a gap is formed along the line between the useful region and the thickened edge region to obtain a glass strip with a homogeneous glass thickness and a new edge parallel to the drawing direction and a separated thickened edge region. The glass strip with homogeneous thickness is cooled after separation.

Abstract

The invention relates to thermal expansion-balanced transverse Anderson localization optical waveguides that have reduced bowing. The optical waveguide is formed of a fiber bundle comprising at least two distinct structural elements. The low curvature of the waveguide is achieved by a net CTE modulus being close to zero, which is achieved by relocating some of the structural elements of the fiber bundle to a different quadrant of the waveguide cross-section.
