Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for stabilising the frequency of a narrow-band Q-switched laser, in which method laser radiation from a seed laser (5) with a wavelength at which the laser pulses are to be generated is coupled into the laser resonator. A temporal intensity profile of laser radiation from the seed laser (5) coupled out of the laser resonator is detected, and, on the basis of the simultaneously detected temporal intensity profile, the optical resonator length of the laser resonator is controlled, by periodically varying same, to an approximately constant temporal average value in a control period between two laser pulses. During the time range in which the laser pulse is being generated, the optical resonator length of the laser resonator is changed from an initial value, that is known due to the previous control process, to a resonance value at which the laser resonator is in resonance with the wavelength of the seed laser (5) when the Q-switch (4) is switched, and, when said resonance value is reached, the Q-switch (4) is switched in order to generate a laser pulse. The method protects the element used to change the resonator length and yet makes it possible to stabilise frequency in a highly accurate manner with good a priori knowledge of the trigger time.

A display arrangement for presenting video information to a human operator in a vehicle senses vehicle movements and movements of a head mounted display unit. Based on vehicle movements and movements of the display unit, a virtual scenario with background video data and application video data are generated to a display arrangement. The background video data are modified so background video moves opposite to vehicle movements. The application video data are modified so application video moves according to vehicle movement. A perspective onto the application video can be modified based on relative movements of the display unit with respect to the vehicle. This may reduce conflicts between sensory impressions of the vestibular system and eyes of the operator because movements of the vehicle and movements of the display unit are considered when generating and modifying the background and application video data presented to the operator.

The invention relates to a method of preparing a pixel matrix sensor with a backside-illuminated geometry. After depositing (S12) a sensor layer on a second side of the substrate, a substrate spacer is prepared (S14), including removing completely the substrate in the central area from the second side of the substrate to create a gap in a central area above a photoactive region of the sensor layer and leaving the substrate spacer on the second side of the substrate and outside of the central area. An optical filter is then attached (S15) to the substrate spacer. The substrate spacer serves as a mechanical spacer for mounting the optical filter and facilitates maintaining the spatial homogeneity of the width of a gap between the optical filter and the sensor layer, without requiring additional holder structures for mounting the optical filter.

A method for ascertaining a correction value for a state of an object in a group consisting of multiple objects is specified. The method comprises the following steps: each object in the group acquiring an absolute ego state in an existing coordinate system: a first object in the group acquiring a relative state of the first object with respect to one or more other objects in the group; the first object transmitting the acquired relative state and the acquired absolute ego state to one or more of the other objects in the group via a data link; exchanging acquired relative states and acquired absolute states in the group of objects, such that all of the objects have an identical uniform level of information; each object calculating a correction value for all of the objects in the group based on the uniform level of information; an object applying the ego correction value to the ego acquired absolute state.
