Abstract: A radiation emitting device for emitting light may include a laser light source configured to emit light along an emitting direction, and a non-imaging optical system arranged downstream of the laser light source in the emitting direction. The optical system may include a plurality of optical elements arranged along the emitting direction for shaping a radiation characteristic of the radiation emitting device in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, such that the radiation characteristic is asymmetrical along the vertical direction. A first optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause spreading of the light along the horizontal direction; a second optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause collimation of the light along the vertical direction, and a third optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause radiation asymmetry along the vertical direction.

Abstract: Methods for producing ceramic multi-layer components and multi-layer components made by such methods. A method includes the following steps: providing green layers for the ceramic multi-layer components, stacking the green layers into a stack and subsequently pressing the stack into a block, singulating the block into partial blocks each having a longitudinal direction, thermally treating the partial blocks and subsequently machining surfaces of the partial blocks. Recesses are produced on the surfaces of the partial blocks during the machining, and the partial blocks are singulated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing piezoelectric multi-layered components (2), which comprises the following steps: applying an electrode material (5) to green sheets (3) containing a piezoelectric material, applying a layer of a first auxiliary material (9) to at least one green sheet (3) containing the piezoelectric material, forming a stack (1), in which the green sheets (3), to which electrode material (5) is applied, are arranged one on top of another, wherein at least one ply of the green sheet (3), to which the layer of the first auxiliary material (9) is applied, is arranged in the stack (1), sintering the stack (1), wherein the layer of the first auxiliary material (9) is thinned, and firing the stack (1), wherein the stack (1) is singulated along the at least one ply into at least two multi-layered components (2).
