Abstract: The disclosed techniques relate to a method for depositing at least one layer composed of an ionically bonded solid on a substrate, comprising the following steps: converting a coating material to the gas phase and depositing the coating material converted to the gas phase on the substrate. The layer is irradiated with UV/VIS light during the deposition. The disclosed techniques also relate to an apparatus for implementing the disclosed method and optical elements and devices created using the disclosed method.

Abstract: An optical element (7, 8) for the VUV wavelength range includes a substrate (7a, 8a), and a coating (15) applied to the substrate (7a, 8a). The coating (15) has at least one fluorine scavenger layer (17, 17a, . . . , 17n) having a fluoride material (Mx+Fx?) doped with at least one preferably metallic dopant ion (Ax+). Also described are an optical arrangement that includes at least one such optical element (7, 8), as well as a method for producing such an optical element (7, 8).

Abstract: A storage system includes at least one storage unit that is configured to store at least one working material and at least one sensor unit configured to sense at least one state characteristic of the working material stored in the storage unit. The storage system also includes an allocation unit that is configured at least to allocate the at least one detected state characteristic to at least one target state characteristic.

Abstract: A transmitter for a contactless transmission coupler transmitting data of a wired data network comprises an input, a converter, a modulator, a high-frequency step, and an antenna. The input receives a data signal. The converter is connected to the input, receives the data signal from the input, and converts the data signal into a sequence of bits representing a physical layer of a network protocol employed on the wired data network. The modulator is connected to the converter, receives the sequence of bits from the converter, and modulates a transmission signal with the sequence of bits. The high-frequency step is connected to the modulator, receives the transmission signal from the modulator, and generates a high-frequency signal by shifting the transmission signal into a high-frequency band. The antenna is connected to the high-frequency step, receives the high-frequency signal from the high-frequency step, and emits the high-frequency signal.

Abstract: A contactless connector system is disclosed. The contactless connector system has a power transmitting connector and a power receiving connector. The power transmitting connector has a primary resonant circuit generating a magnetic field at a primary inductive coupler, a primary data transceiver, and a primary control unit connected to and controlling the resonant circuit and the primary data transceiver. The power receiving connector has a secondary inductive coupler electromagnetically coupled to the primary inductive coupler and receiving electric power from the primary inductive coupler, a secondary data transceiver connected with the primary data transceiver to form a bi-directional data link with the primary data transceiver, and a secondary sensing unit measuring at least one secondary operational parameter. The primary control unit controls the resonant circuit based on the at least one secondary operational parameter.
