The duping arrangement comprises a wide-angle optical system formed by a bundle of glass fibers, a fiber delay line and a phase-conjugated optical element that is operated in an externally pumped mode or a self-pumped mode.

Abstract: A shock wave generator for the fragmentation of concrements, having a light-pulse-transmiting light guide and a converter arranged at the distal light guide end and having an ionization surface which, when a light pulse impinges, initiates a shock wave in the surrounding fluid, as well as having a shock wave outlet zone. In order to increase its efficiency and durability, the generator is constructed such that the ionization surface extends obliquely sloped with respect to the beaming axis of the impinging light pulse and the shock wave outlet zone is arranged in the direct shock wave beaming area of the ionization surface, thereby permitting a largely unhindered, low-loss propagation for the shock wave to the application point.

Abstract: An optical-fiber gyroscope of the Sagnac type having an optical fiber coil and a 3.times.3 coupler comprising three optically coupled fiber optic guides. A first fiber optic guide of the 3.times.3 coupler is coupled at one end to a first optical radiation source, whose radiation intensity is detected directly by a radiation detector. The two other fiber optic guides of the 3.times.3 coupler are each coupled to respective ends of an optical fiber coil and, at the other ends of each of the two other fiber optic guides, to respective radiation detectors. The first fiber optic guide of the 3.times.3 coupler features a second optical radiation source, which is modulated by a frequency which differs from the modulation frequency of the first radiation source.

Abstract: In order to obtain in a cockpit for a helicopter which is provided with a support frame work consisting of hollow profile parts dimensionally stiffly connected to each other and defining the door and window cutouts of the cockpit and an outer covering and is usually fabricated for cost reasons in view of the relatively limited lot sizes of aircraft in differential design to obtain not only a more weight-saving but also overall a more cost effective cockpit design, at least the hollow profile parts extending around the cockpit cutouts are made as an integral, spatially closed support profile structure such that they are formed and hardened together from composite fiber material or superplastically deformable metal in a forming tool having the forming surfaces with the profile shape of the hollow profile parts around to the cockpit cutouts.

Abstract: An adapter is disclosed which is suitable for connecting a light guide end piece to a coupling device of a light source of high intensity, particularly of a medical laser apparatus. The adaptor has a first section 2 which can be fixed in the coupling device 11 as well as a second section 3 which can be axially slid with respect to the first section 2. The second section 3 carries an input lens system 4 and, when the light guide end piece 20 is pushed in, is axially displaced from the first I to a second II position and locked there. Safety devices of the laser apparatus which prevent a start of the operation without any inserted light guide are switched only in the second position II.

Abstract: The invention relates to a picture transmission system of a guided missile which is connected with a ground facility by way of an optical wave guide. This system is arranged that, without any increase of the transmission band width of the optical wave guide, two TV pictures are transmitted to the ground guiding facility, in which case, in addition to the moving picture for the navigation of the guided missile, enlarged stationary pictures for a target identification may also be retrieved, without interfering with the picture-supported navigation. An embodiment is disclosed which includes a camera with a single fixed lens body containing a centrally disposed wide angle lens for sensing navigation aiding images and a surrounding longer focal distance lens for sensing target identification aiding images.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stepping mechanism for rotary motions with a driven switching wheel (9) which comprises at least one wheel-side stop (10), with an escapement mechanism having at least one pawl (12) which cooperates with said wheel-side stop, and with an actuating device (3, 17) for the pawl. Pursuant to the invention, a miniaturizable stepping mechanism is provided which is of a simple design and which permits reliable positioning of the switching wheel into preselected individual rotational positions. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the escapement mechanism of the stepping mechanism comprises a brake (20) displaceable under the action of force, with a run-up edge (21) lying in the region of each pawl (12) on to which the wheel-side stop (10) runs up before striking the pawl (12) to thereby displace the brake.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radar system having a synthetic aperture on the basis of rotating antennae. In order to achieve real-time capacity with a high discrimination despite the high data flow, reference functions are determined by a geometry module and a circuit for dividing the strip illuminated by the antennae into a specific number of range intervals. As a result of the division of the overall analysis circuit into individual modules, a complete analysis of the incoming signals can take place despite the high data flow. By signals from additional kinematics sensors integrated into the tips of the rotor carrying the antennae, the reference functions are corrected for rotor movements which deviate from the ideal orbit.
