  • Intraocular lens device for the improvement of vision in case of retinal diseases
    Patent number: 8206442
    Abstract: The invention concerns an intraocular lens device which is used in particular for treatment of diseases of the central retina (macula) with retinal areas which are still healthy. The main principle of the invention at hand is that a lens device is provided for the redirection of the focal point from an area with impaired retinal function to a functioning area which comprises at least one convex lens element and several wedge-shaped recesses. Surprisingly it was found that a considerable reduction of the thickness of the lens device is thus achievable when several wedge-shaped recesses are provided.

  • Micromechanical mirrors with a high-reflection coating, method for production thereof and use thereof
    Patent number: 7573634
    Abstract: The invention relates to micromechanical mirrors with a high-reflection coating for the deep-ultraviolet (DUV) and vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) spectral range, based on a substrate which is coated with an aluminum layer and a transparent blooming coating. Likewise the invention relates to a method for the production of such micromechanical layers with a high-reflection coating and to the use thereof for the production of microsensors, optical data stores or video and data projection displays.
