Abstract: A transport device is particularly suitable for use in a vacuum chamber for the transportation of a flat substrate through the vacuum chamber and comprises a belt conveyor with at least one flexible infinite belt guided around at least two deflection rollers, whereby at least one deflection roller can be driven, and further including a filling element positioned for filling at least the space contained by the infinite belt or belts. The air volume enclosed by the transport device is significantly reduced in comparison to conventional solutions by incorporating the filling element in the transport element. As a result, the volume to be evacuated from the vacuum chamber is reduced. The vacuum chamber can be evacuated and ventilated more rapidly. Nevertheless, the transport device is constructed so as to be maintenance-friendly. Maintenance work can be carried out easily, because the infinite belts and the deflection rollers are easily accessible.

Abstract: In the case of a method of detecting wind velocities by means of a Doppler-lidar system (10), a laser beam of a defined frequency generated by means of a laser (11) is emitted by a transmitting device (12) toward a space area and the light backscattered from the space area is received by means of a receiving telescope (13). For determining a Doppler shift, an interferogram is generated by means of an interferometer (16), the intensity distribution of the interferogram being directly measured by means of a photodetector (17). The measured intensity distribution is compared with one or more reference patterns which had previously been determined for defined parameters and are filed in a memory device (18a). From the comparison, the Doppler shift is determined as a measurement for the wind velocity. The Doppler-lidar system (10) comprises an analyzing unit (18a, 18b) for implementing the method, having a comparison unit (18b) for the comparison of reference patterns with the measured interferogram.
