  • Patent number: 6724542
    Abstract: An integrated light-transmission optical module for a safetyoptoelectronic barrier, comprises a condenser element having a first lens, and an objective having a second lens which are located respectively at a first end and a second end. The module comprises a single-piece entity made of transparent material, and having an intermediate zone provided with deflectors formed by a succession of dioptric surfaces distributed along the direction of light flux propagation between the first lens and the second lens. The deflectors ensure a deflection outside the optical module of stray rays reflected inside the module, so as to prevent transmission of strays rays, either through the second lens of the objective if it is a light transmission coming from the condenser element, or through the first lens when receiving light coming from the second lens.

  • Patent number: 6016709
    Abstract: It comprises a series of measurement optical fiber (2) segments (2a, 2b, 2c) and a series of stress fiber (3) segments (3a, 3b) extending transversely to a longitudinal direction of the measurement optical fiber segments, the stress fiber segments being disposed in alternation on opposite sides of the measurement optical fiber segments, the fiber segments of at least one series being covered by a protective member (4) enabling the covered fiber segments to move relative to the protective member.
