Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measuring system for measuring a light source in a polarization-independent manner, having a camera comprising a plurality of image sensors arranged in the form of a matrix, and a microscope optics, and to a method for measuring the light sources in a polarization-independent manner. The aim is to make it possible to measure the light output of the light source in an improved, simple and largely polarization-independent manner while maintaining the spatial resolution in the microscopic range. To that end, the present disclosure proposes that a linear polarizer is associated with each of the image sensors, wherein the linear polarizers are arranged in the form of a matrix in front of the image sensors and two or more, preferably four, polarizers form a matrix block, wherein the transmission directions of adjacent linear polarizers within a matrix block are rotated relative to one another, preferably by 45° or by 90°.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for transmitting light over a fat fiber (1) between optical components (B1; B2) of an optical measuring device, which are provided at a launching end (C) and at an extraction end (R; K; O) of the fat fiber (1). Said measuring device comprises a guiding means for the curved rigid guidance of a first partial section (PQ; FGHI; IJ; FL; LM; MN) of the fat fiber (1). If the radius of curvature of the curved guidance falls below a first limit, the light beam profile of the fat fiber (1) is homogenized by a mode mixing. In order to diminish the effect on the transmitted light caused by a permitted change in position of the fat fiber (1), a stiffening means, which is rigidly connected to the guiding means, is provided for rigidly guiding a second partial section (QR; JK; NO) of the fat fiber (1).
