  • Patent number: 9577750
    Abstract: A measurement device relates to a Halios system for measuring an optical transmission path, in which at least one receiver and a compensation transmitter are optically separated from each other by an optical barrier in such a matter that a direct irradiation of said receiver by said compensation transmitter is not possible. Said compensation transmitter and a transmitter are of the same type and/or have at least a common electric optical working point in an optical working point. Said optical barrier has a compensation path, characterized by a compensation window, which attenuates the light of the compensation transmitter before it hits the receiver in such a manner that the compensation transmitter and said transmitter are operated at least in an optical working point by a controller in said identical electro-optical working point.

  • Patent number: 9300397
    Abstract: A device for measuring a measured optical transmission path includes a first optical transmitter transmitting into the measured optical tramsmission path and a compensation transmitter transmitting into a compensation optical transmission path. The device includes an optical receiver for receiving transmissions from each of the first optical transmitter and the compensation transmitter. A controller controls the compensation transmitter and provides a controller output signal representative of a measured value of the first transmission path. A nose piece separates the optical transmitter from the optical receiver. The compensation transmitter is placed in a first cavity. The receiver is placed in a second cavity. A filter in the measured optical transmission path has a transmissivity for the wavelength of the light of the first optical transmitter of at least 50% and an absorption factor for the wavelength of the light of the compensation transmitter of at least 25%.

  • Patent number: 7589303
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining and/or evaluating a differential, optical signal. According to the invention, at least two first light sources (S1, S2) which are sequentially clocked in terms of light and emitted in a phased manner are provided, in addition to at least one receiver (E) which is used to receive at least the alternating light portion arising from the first light sources (S1, S2). The light intensity radiating through at least one light source (S1, S2) in the measuring arrangement is controlled in such a manner that the clock synchronous alternating light portion, which occurs between different phases, is zero in the receiver (E). By determining the reception signal in the receiver (E) in relation to the phase position in order to regulate the radiated light intensity and by producing an adjustable variable (R) directly or by adding current in the receiver, it is possible to simplify digital implementation of the method with as little sensitivity loss as possible.

The light-intensity radiating through at least one light source (S1, S2) in the measuring arrangement is controlled in such a manner that the clock-synchronous alternating light portion, which occurs between different phases, is zero in the receiver (E). By determining the reception signal in the receiver (E) in relation to the phase position in order to regulate the radiated light intensity and by producing an adjustable variable (R) directly or by adding current in the receiver, it is possible to simplify digital implementation of the method with as little sensitivity loss as possible.

  • Patent number: 7280714
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for optoelectronically identifying the displacement and/or position of an object. According to the method, a transmitter element emits light, which is received by at least one receiver element and the light emitted from the transmitter element is scattered by an object, wherein an optical guide is provided between the transmitter element and the receiver element. This aim of the invention is to fulfill the prerequisites for a key construction, which can be operated below a sealed surface. To achieve this, the optical guide includes light coupling means for coupling in the illumination that has been scattered by the object and previously emitted by the optical guide.
