Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror arrangement for guiding a laser beam in a laser system having at least one first end mirror and one second end mirror, wherein said end mirrors define a resonator having an optical resonator axis, wherein the laser beam is guided into the resonator as an input laser beam and is guided out of the resonator again after multiple reflection at the first and second end mirrors as an output laser beam. The sequence of reflections at the first and second end mirror thereby determines a direction of rotation between the first and second end mirror, defined as an axis of rotation relative to the resonator axis, whereby a first beam path is defined and the laser beam circulates in a direction of rotation between the first and second end mirrors in the resonator defined as an axis of rotation relative to the resonator axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laser amplification system for generating retrievable laser pulses having at least one laser source, in particular with a pulse selector arranged downstream thereof for the targeted selection of amplifiable laser pulses, a laser medium for amplifying laser pulses generated by the laser source and a loss modulator, wherein the loss modulator is arranged and connected such that said modulator modulates the amplification of the laser pulses by the laser medium by loss generation so that the retrievable laser pulses are provided with a predefined pulse time and/or pulse energy. Before an amplification process for one of the laser pulses, the current amplification of the laser medium is determined and the loss generation is controlled by the loss modulator depending on the current amplification of the laser medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a highly repetitive laser system operating according to the reproducible amplifier principle. Said system comprises at least one amplified laser medium, a laser resonator provided with at least one resonator mirror and at least one modulator and a pump source, in particular, a laser diode source, which is used to pump the laser medium. The highly repetitive laser system is compact by virtue of the fact that a pulse extensor, having a highly dispersive effect as a result of the structure or material thereof, is integrated into the laser resonator.

Abstract: A high-repetition laser system for generating ultra-short pulses according to the principle of pulse decoupling is described. This is achieved by the use of an amplifying laser medium, a laser resonator with at least one resonator mirror and at least one pulse decoupling component, a saturable absorber mirror, and a pump source for pumping the laser medium wherein the pulse decoupling component is an electro-optical modulator.

Abstract: In a ski boot having a toe- and heel-piece and an anklet consisting of an anklet front part and an anklet rear part it is proposed that the toe- and heel-piece is soft to deformation in the instep region in the direction of variation of the clear instep width, that the anklet front part is displaceable perpendicularly of a transverse axis on lateral articulation points on the side parts of the toe- and heel-piece, in the direction of variable action of the anklet front part along the instep line of the deformation-soft instep region of the toe- and heel-piece, and that tension means serving for the adjustment of the anklet front part on the articulation points act upon the anklet front part.

Abstract: In a ski boot comprising a forward heel cup and an ankle cuff mounted pivotably, at said forward heel cup, around a transverse axis situated in front of the Achilles tendon line of the shoe transversely to the longitudinal direction of the shoe and defined by sideward hinge points, the ankle cup being fastenable to the shoe by means of support devices in a downhill skiing position in which said ankle support forces the lower leg into a forward-inclined downhill skiing position, it is suggested that by the shifting of the transverse axis (Q) out of a downhill skiing position (FIG. 1) into a resting position (FIG. 2), the support devices (32, 31) can be taken out of service in such a way that the lower leg can revert, with said ankle cuff (16), from the downhill skiing position into a resting position.

Abstract: Apparatus for the application of different first indicia to successive envelopes for exposed photographic films and for the application of related different second indicia to associated films has a first marking unit which imprints first indicia onto successive envelopes and a second marking unit which exposes second indicia onto unexposed portions of films. The second unit is adjusted in automatic response to monitoring of adjustment of the first unit, and the two units can be actuated to apply related first and second indicia to an envelope and to the associated film only when the envelope and the film assume predetermined positions with respect to the corresponding units. The positions of successive envelopes and successive films are scanned by discrete first and second photoelectric cells. The first unit is adjusted by the first cell or in automatic response to completion of application of first indicia to an envelope.
