Claudia Bruchmann has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8708508
    Abstract: An adaptive mirror that includes a substrate layer, on the first surface of which a reflecting layer and on the second surface of which at least one actuator is disposed. The substrate layer has a thickness of less than or equal to 1,000 ?m and the mirror having at least one further metallization for thermal compensation, as a result of which a thermal deformation of the mirror is avoided or preadjusted such that the desired curvature is set as a function of the reflected power.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Claudia Bruchmann, Erik Beckert, Thomas Peschel, Christoph Damm, Sylvia Gebhardt
  • Patent number: 8480243
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptive mirror based on a ceramic substrate having a corresponding reflector and piezoelectric actuators, a cooling device being integrated in the substrate. The invention likewise relates to a method for the production of such mirrors. The mirrors according to the invention are used for the modulation or deformation of a laser wavefront of high power.
