Abstract: A laser diode arrangement is provided that comprises a laser diode, a driver (EPS) to provide an AC-electric power to the laser diode, a first feedback component (FB1) and a second feedback component (FB2). The first feedback component (FB1) is configured to sense an optical output of the laser diode and comprises an optical power control module (OPCM) to control a first waveform characteristic of the AC-electric power to maintain the sensed optical output (PM) close to a first desired value (PD). The second feedback component (FB2) is configured to estimate a temperature (TEST) of the laser diode by sensing a voltage-current characteristic of the laser diode and comprises a temperature control module (TCM) that is configured to control a second waveform characteristic of the AC-electric power, different from the first waveform characteristic to maintain the estimated temperature (TEST) close to a second desired value (TOPT).

Abstract: The invention is directed at an arrangement for determining cantilever deflection in a scanning probe microscopy system. The system includes a scan head supporting a probe, including the cantilever and a probe tip, comprising a specular reflective surface. The arrangement comprises an optical source for providing an optical beam. The optical beam is impinged onto the specular reflective surface. An optical sensor receives the reflected beam from the specular reflected surface, forming a light spot on the sensor. The optical sensor provides a sensor signal from which location information of the light spot on the sensor is obtainable. The optical sensor comprises an array of photo diode elements. Each photo diode element is configured for providing a photo diode signal to be included in the sensor signal, and comprises a photo sensitive surface having an effective area dimension in a plane transverse to the beam direction which is smaller than the cross sectional area of the reflective beam.

Abstract: AXL-specific antibodies and uses therefor are described, including monoclonal and single domain antibodies. Such antibodies bind to cell surface expressed human AXL at an epitope in an immunoglobulin-like (IgL) domain of the AXL ectodomain. The antibody may be used in an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), for example in the treatment, detection or staging of cancer. The antibody may be biparatopic.
