Abstract: A detection device includes a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) device enclosed in housing with a glass cover that has a mean transmittance at the LiDAR operating wavelength of at least 80%, to an IR-radiation in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm. The glass cover is laminated and includes at least one glass sheet laminated with at least one thermoplastic interlayer. The thermoplastic interlayer has a mean transmittance at the LiDAR operating wavelength of at least 80%, to an IR-radiation in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm, and has a light transmission in the visible range of less than 10% of the incident light.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle having (a) a pane with a refractive index, n1, (b) a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) device located in the interior environment and facing the inner surface of the pane, and (c) an anti-reflection unit, made of a material of refractive index, n3, coupling the LiDAR device to the inner surface of the transparent pane, and having a mean absorption coefficient (k) in the wavelength range from 750 nm to 1650 nm lower than 5 m?1 (i.e., k?5 m?1). The anti-reflection unit also has an interfacial surface coupled in intimate contact with the inner surface of the transparent pane and a surface coupled to the LiDAR device, forming the angle ? with the interfacial surface and which normal forms the angle ?, with the incident axis (i0), where ? is between ?30° and +30°.

Abstract: A method for producing an automotive glazing with an optical sensor device, with the glazing having superior optical qualities, including the steps of applying an enamel obscuration mask on at least one face of at least one glass sheet, where the obscuration mask extends to an area where the at least one optical sensor device will be fixed and includes at least one opening on the automotive interior side so as to be capable of acquiring information through the opening from the optical sensor device intended to be fixed at the at least one opening; drying or firing the enamel obscuration mask; applying a washable cover layer resisting at a temperature of at least 620° C. on the surface of the at least one opening; submitting the glass sheet to a heat treatment above 450° C. during a bending or tempering process; and removing by washing the washable cover layer.

Abstract: The invention concerns automobile glazing comprising an enamel coating on at least part of the surface thereof, said coating acting as a barrier against light transmission. The glazing is characterised in that the enamel coating reflects more than 10%, and preferably more than 15%, of wavelengths higher than 800 nm.
