Publication number: 20190265349Abstract: An apparatus for time-resolved capture of pulsed electromagnetic radio frequency radiation includes a generator being so adapted that in operation of the apparatus the generator produces pulses of the electromagnetic radio frequency radiation, a detector being so adapted that in operation of the apparatus the detector captures the field strength of the pulses reflected by a sample as a function of time, and a distance measurement system and an evaluation device connected to the detector and the distance measurement system. The distance measurement system is so adapted that in operation of the apparatus the distance measurement system captures a change in a distance between the generator and the sample and/or between the sample and the detector as a function of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: August 29, 2019Applicant: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.Inventors: Georg VON FREYMANN, Joachim JONUSCHEIT, Jens KLIER, Daniel MOLTER

Patent number: 8676016Abstract: A compressible photonic crystal comprising a polymer with an ordered array of voids, the photonic crystal having a reflectance in a first wavelength range for light incident to its incident surface and its opposing incident surface; wherein compression against at least a portion of at least one of the surfaces shifts the reflectance to a second wavelength range in at least that portion of that surface. The crystal may be used in authentication devices of various types.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2007Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignees: The Governing Council of the University of Toronto, Opalux IncorporatedInventors: Andre Arsenault, Geoffrey Alan Ozin, Georg von Freymann

Patent number: 8389927Abstract: An optical arrangement has a laser configured to emit a laser beam, an amplitude mask and a focusing element. The amplitude mask is disposed between the laser and the focusing element in a path of the laser beam such that the laser beam hits the amplitude mask before being modified by the focusing element so as to direct the laser beam to a focal point within a photosensitive material.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Karlsruher Institut Fuer TechnologieInventors: Alexandra Ledermann, Georg Von Freymann, Martin Wegener

Patent number: 8389893Abstract: A method for laser beam machining of a workpiece in which a laser beam is focused by an objective, into or onto the workpiece having a boundary surface, to produce a machining effect by a two-photon process, and the position of the focal point with respect to the workpiece is shifted. To obtain a reference for the position of the focal point, an image of a luminating modulation object is projected through the objective onto the workpiece into the focal plane or so as to intersect it. Reflections of the image occurring at the boundary surface are imaged into an autofocus image plane, and are detected by a camera. The camera image plane either intersects the autofocus image plane when the image of the illuminating modulation object lies in the focal plane, or lies in the autofocus image plane when the image of the modulation object intersects the focal plane.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Nanoscribe GmbHInventors: Michael Kempe, Peter Westphal, Wolfgang Grau, Georg von Freymann
