Abstract

A device for sterilising a fluid flowing therethrough by comprises a container having an inlet for receiving the fluid and an outlet for discharging the fluid, a variable or adjustable irradiation zone for irradiating the fluid with UV radiation. The irradiation zone including a gap which extends between two oppositely arranged walls. The distance between the walls, and thus the gap size of the gap, can be changed by at least one wall being movable. For example, the wall is a wall of a displaceable body that is located inside the container or projecting into the container. By adjusting the distance between the walls in the region of the gap, and thus the layer thickness of the fluid flowing through the gap, the efficiency of the operation of the device is optimised with different scattering and absorption properties of the fluid.

The collimating lens (40) and wavelength-sensitive lattice (60) are arranged along the optical axis (O) of the laser beam emitted from the laser (90), such that an external cavity is formed by a rear mirror facet of the laser (90) and a reflection plane (62) of the lattice (60) to produce a lo-bandwidth portion of the laser beam transmitted by the wavelength-sensitive lattice (60). The reflection plane (62) of the wavelength-sensitive lattice (60), on which the laser beam collimated by the collimating lens (40) is partially reflected during operation, is inclined with an angular deviation (β) with respect to a plane perpendicular to the optical axis (O) of the laser (90). The collimating lens (40) is configured laterally offset with respect to a position centred on the optical axis (O) of the laser (90) into a position (44, 45) shifted in the direction (X, Y) perpendicular to the optical axis (O), in which the collimating lens (40) collimates the laser beam in a beam direction (7) perpendicular to the inclined reflection plane (62).

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a light source and an image-generating unit having a digital micromirror device (DMD), wherein a light beam is directed from the light source onto a number of micromirrors of the DMD, with the aid of which an image is generated depending on various mirror positions and can be output, said method comprising the steps of: operating the DMD by means of pulse width modulation in a pattern of bit segments which are successive within an update time; activating at least one micromirror in order, within a first partial interval of the update time comprising one or more pulses, the pulses corresponding to the bit segments, to set a first mirror position (ON) in such a way that the light beam component incident on the micromirror is output; and providing a power, with which the light source is supplied at least within the duration of the first partial interval so that the light source emits therein a predetermined amount of light. In a first operating mode, the light source is supplied with power within a second partial interval of the same update time in which the at least one micromirror of the digital micromirror device assumes a second mirror position (OFF), so that the light beam component incident on the micromirror is not output from the image-generating unit. A temporal average value of the power in the second partial interval is increased in comparison to a temporal average value of the power within the first partial interval in order to counteract a cooling of the light source in the case of a small amount of light which is provided for the output from the image-generating unit.

Abstract

An optical sensor arrangement, for example for a LiDAR system, comprises an emitter unit (1) and a receiver unit (3). The emitter unit (1) comprises a semiconductor laser (10) configured to emit coherent electromagnetic radiation having at least two wavelengths. Furthermore, the emitter unit (1) is configured to direct the emitted electromagnetic radiation at a remote target (5), the receiver unit (3) comprising at least one optical sensor (31, 32) configured to selectively detect electromagnetic radiation depending on the at least two wavelengths. The receiver unit (3) is arranged relative to the emitter unit (1) and configured such that electromagnetic radiation scattered or reflected by the remote target (5) is detectable on the optical sensor (31, 32).
