According to the invention, in order to provide a microsystem module of this type which can be connected to adjacent microstructure system components with an extremely good fit and in an exactly reproducible manner and preventing damage to the adjacent components and the sensitive functional areas of the microsystem module, the support areas are disposed in the region of outwardly projecting surface regions of the body which are set back relative to the support areas in the direction towards the interior of the body. The functional areas are disposed with very narrow tolerances in a dimensionally accurate manner relative to the support areas.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for electromagnetic rays or radiation beams in the optical spectral domain, in particular for laser beams, comprising at least a deviating element provided with at least one interface with optical function which can, by refraction or reflection, deviate a ray. The interface having the optical function has a curve such that, in one first direction (X) substantially along the interface, the local inclination thereof permanently varies, at least by sections, relative to a direction (Y) substantially along the interface and practically perpendicular to the first direction (X). Advantageously, the interface with the optical function is twisted, preferably shaped like a propeller.

Abstract: An optical beam shaping system has optical elements arranged in a radiation bundle in part designed as lens arrays each having each several lenses for sensing partial radial bundles, their lens surface (3) being shaped into an optically active interface (2, 2′) of a monolithic optical element (1). In order to provide a beam shaping system which can more effectively influence the beam parameters than the known prior art beam shaping systems and which has a more simple design, the interface (2, 2′) has a curved basic shape.

Abstract: A light transmission device, and particularly a fiber optical light transmission system for transmitting energy, has a light conducting fiber bundle formed by a plurality of light conducting fibers, and with at least one coupling element for coupling or decoupling a bundle of light rays focused on the bundle of light conducting fibers. In order to avoid energy overloading of the individual light conducting fibers, and to increase the efficiency of the energy transmission, each coupling element has a coupler array having a plurality of light focusing cells. The coupler array of light focusing cells will focus an incident bundle of light rays multiple times on the light conducting cross section of each of the light conducting fibers of the light conducting fiber bundle.

Abstract: A method for the production of optically operating structures, particularly of lenses and lens arrays and prisms, with which in at least one masking step (MS) a base structure (10) that is optically operating in steps is formed on the surface of a substrate (1) in at least one masking step (MS) with a subsequent etching step (AS) and is then smoothed by capillary surface forces of the melted substrate in a melting step by means of heating to melting, characterized in that in the melting step (SS) the substrate (1) that carries the base structure (10) is placed inside a vacuum chamber (3), and then to charge the base structure (10) in a strip-like manner with a high-voltage-accelerated electron beam (4), which simultaneously moves on the substrate (1) perpendicularly and in respect to a melting zone (11) operated by the electron beam (4) on the base structure (10), with such an energy density that the melting zone (11) has a depth (T) that corresponds to at least one step height (H) of the stepped base structu
