  • Publication number: 20240363786
    Abstract: An optical component serves as a nonlinear photodetector for generating a nonlinear electrical signal. The component comprises a first electrically conductive layer, a second electrically conductive layer and an absorption layer. The absorption layer is arranged between the first and the second electrically conductive layer and has a layer thickness of at least 500 nm. The electrical signal is generated by the component by applying a voltage at the component and irradiating the component with electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range (?1) with a radiation intensity of less than 10 nW/mm2 and also irradiating the optical component with electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range (?2) that is different from the first wavelength range (?1) and a radiation intensity of less than 100 nW/mm2.

  • Patent number: 12129014
    Abstract: A cabin lining element for an aircraft cabin which is arranged in the interior of an aircraft fuselage structure, having a fuselage structure side and a cabin side. The cabin lining element comprises an electrically contactable heating lacquer layer at least in regions on its fuselage structure side. A rib is provided for an aircraft fuselage structure, having at least one foot portion on the outer skin facing side and a cabin facing side head portion. The rib comprises an electrically contactable heating lacquer layer at least in regions on a side of the head portion facing the cabin. As a result of the heating lacquer layer, it is possible to omit insulation which otherwise surrounds the rib heads and, as a consequence, to enlarge the width of the cabin.
