Abstract: An ophthalmological apparatus (1) comprises a base station (11) having a light source (51) for generating light pulses, and an application head (3) which can be mounted on an eye (2) having a light projector (58) for the focussed projection of the light pulses for punctiform breakdown of eye tissue (22). The application head (3) additionally has movement drivers (57) for moving the light projector (58) in a feed direction and in a first scanning direction. A scanner (52) is arranged in the base station (11) in order to deflect the light pulses in a second scanning direction. In addition, the ophthalmological apparatus (1) comprises an optical transmission system for transmitting deflected light pulses from the base station (11) to the application head (3), and for superimposing the light pulses deflected in the second scanning direction onto the movement of the light projector (58) in the first scanning direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laryngoscope with a light guiding portion for insertion into a patient's oral cavity and an observation device for diagnostics with visible light, comprising an illumination beam path for illuminating an examination area with a visible observation beam, and an imaging beam path for guiding the observation beam reflected from the examination area. Such known laryngoscopes permit diagnostics of pathological changes in deeper tissue layers. The laryngoscope of the invention enables this by means of an OCT device for diagnostics using optical coherence tomography, comprising an OCT illumination beam path for illuminating an examination area with the coherent beam, and an OCT imaging beam for guiding the coherent beam reflected from the examination area to an OCT module for generating an image of tissue layers in the examination area.

Abstract: The invention concerns surgical lasers and their controllers as well as methods for the treatment of an eye lens, especially for the treatment of presbyopia.

Abstract: A device for machining a material with ultrashort laser pulses is described. This device comprises: (a) a device (1) for generating a sequence of first laser pulses, where the first laser pulses each have a duration of less than 300 picoseconds and the repetition rate for the first laser pulses is in the range between 100 kHz and 1 GHz, (b) a converter (2) for converting a first set of the sequence of first laser pulses into a sequence of second laser pulses for application to and for machining of the material, where the second laser pulses each have a duration of less than 300 picoseconds and the repetition rate for the second laser pulses is in the range between 1 Hz and 1 MHz, as well as (c) a testing device (3, 5, 6, 7, 15) that is equipped to apply first laser pulses, which do not belong to the first set, to the material, to detect specific results of this application and to provide these detected results as information.
