  • Patent number: 8342726
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp includes a first light source, at least one second light source and an integrally designed, transparent shaped part. The shaped part includes a first optical structure for orienting light radiated by the first light source and at least one second optical structure for orienting light radiated by the second light source. The first optical structure and the second optical structure each have a continuously curved surface or a continuous, curved surface with an extent of at least in each case half a centimeter, in particular one centimeter, in two orthogonal directions.

  • Patent number: 8212689
    Abstract: The invention relates to an objective, particularly for infrared light and/or visible light, for imaging an object in an image plane, wherein the objective comprises an objective lens to be directed toward the object and an image lens directed toward the image plane, wherein the following applies with regard to imaging an object for each point within the image circle of the objective or for at least one point within the image circle of the objective: Formula (I), wherein Pmax represents the maximum light output of a point in the image plane for imaging a point on the object, and wherein Pmin represents the light output of an additional point in the image plane for imaging the point on the object, the light output of which with regard to imaging the point on the object is greater than the light output of each additional point in the image plane with regard to imaging the point on the object.
