20100214533Spectrometer - A spectrometer is described, especially for an optical coherence tomograph (08-26-2010
20100302550DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE OPTICAL MEASUREMENT OF RELATIVE DISTANCES - An optical time domain coherence tomograph including an object beam path, a detection beam path and a detector unit. An interferometer unit, which has a first and a second beam path part having different optical path lengths, splits radiation and feeds it into the two beam path parts and superimposes it again after passage through the beam path parts and thus generates a dual beam, which has components which are axially offset to one another because of the differing optical path lengths of the two beam path parts. A scanning unit has a first adjuster and a second adjuster for adjusting the optical path length of the first and second beam path parts and the first and the second adjustment means adjusting the path length for scanning the object in coordination to one another under control by the control unit.12-02-2010
20110069279OPHTHALMOLOGIC BIOMETRIC OR IMAGE GENERATING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION AND EVALUATION OF MEASURED DATA - An ophthalmological biometric or image-producing system and method for detection and analysis of measurement data including a measurement arrangement with an illumination unit for illuminating the eye with at least one measurement beam, a signal detection unit for the detection of the light portions scattered or reflected back from the eye, a central control unit with an output unit, and a pattern generating unit which includes an optical scan unit, a control unit as well as a position sensor for measuring the realized deflections of the optical scan unit, whereby control unit, optical scan unit and position sensor can form a control circuit. Thereby, the position sensor, except for the connection within the possible control circuit, includes a connection to a unit of the measurement arrangement for optimizing measurement value logging or to the central control unit for correcting the biometric measurements or tomograms.03-24-2011

20110069366OPTICAL DEFLECTION DEVICE FOR SCANNING, OPHTHALMOLOGIC MEASUREMENT AND THERAPY SYSTEM - An optical deflection unit for targeted radiation, e.g., produced by laser or superluminescent diodes, in scanning, ophthalmological measuring and therapy systems, comprises a deflection mirror, a position sensor and a control unit, which form a control circuit for minimizing the deviation of the actual positions, detected by the position sensor, from the desired positions of the deflection mirror, whereby the optical deflection unit comprises a deflection mirror, oscillatingly movable by means of non-contacting electromagnetic drives around at least one rotation axis, and which is positioned in the direction of the, at least, one rotation axis between at least two bearings. The optical deflection unit is designed may also be used for beam guidance in high and ultrahigh vacuum installations, such as UV and EUV exposure installations for semiconductor lithography.03-24-2011

20110109913SHORT COHERENCE INTERFEROMETRY FOR MEASURING FOR MEASURING SPACINGS - A short coherence interferometer for measuring several axially spaced-apart regions of a sample, especially of an eye, which has a measuring optical path, through which the measuring radiation falls on the sample, a tunable interferometer for the axial, relative retardation of parts of the radiation, wherein the axial relative retardation is assigned to the axial spacing of the regions and a detector for producing an interference signal from interfering measurement radiation, scattered or reflected back from the sample as sample radiation. The tunable interferometer divides the sample radiation into two parts, which are axially relatively retarded and superimposed so as to interfere. During the superimposition, the tunable interferometer forms individual radiations, which represent quadrature components of the sample radiation, and the detector detects the individual radiations.05-12-2011
20110149245OPTICAL COHERENCE REFLECTOMETRY WITH DEPTH RESOLUTION - A device for performing distance measurements on an eye. The device includes an interferometer, focuses at least one measurement beam records backscattered radiation and interferometrically generates a measurement signal displaying structures of the eye by time-domain, spectral-domain or Fourier-domain coherence reflectometry, has an adjustment apparatus for laterally and/or axially displacing the focus in the eye or for varying a polarization state of the measurement beam and has a control apparatus which actuates the interferometer, wherein the control apparatus generates a plurality of A-scan individual signals from the backscattered radiation, combines these to an A-scan measurement signal and actuates the adjustment apparatus for displacing the position of the focus or for varying the polarization while recording the backscattered radiation from which the control apparatus generates the A-scan individual signals is being recorded.06-23-2011
