Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for a photoreactor comprising a tubular housing (40) having a longitudinal axis (41) and a plurality of individual light sources (30) mounted on the inner surface of the housing (40), wherein the housing (40) comprises flow channels (46) for a heat transfer fluid, the flow channels (46) being arranged at the back side of the inner surface of the housing (40) behind the individual light sources forming a conformal cooling passage for the individual light sources. The invention further relates to a photoreactor comprising a lighting device and a reaction chamber with at least one tubular flow channel, the reaction chamber being arranged inside the lighting device and the channel wall being made of a material transmissive to the light emitted by the light sources.

Abstract: A method provides for producing modifications in or on a transparent workpiece using a laser processing device. The laser processing device has a short pulse or ultrashort pulse laser that emits laser radiation having a wavelength in the transparency range of the workpiece and which has a beam-shaping optical unit for beam shaping for focusing the laser radiation. The transparent workpiece is composed of a material that has a plurality of phases, of which at least two phases have different dielectric constants, of which in turn the one phase is a phase embedded in the form of particles, which phase is substantially surrounded by the other phase, and wherein the product of the volume of the particles specified in cubic nanometers and the ratio of the absolute value of the difference of the two different dielectric constants to the dielectric constant of the surrounding phase is greater than 500.
