Abstract: A device for the generation of white light serves in particular for the illumination of the interior of the eye. A semiconductor laser (10?) emits radiation in the blue/violet/ultraviolet region of the spectrum, which is coupled into an optical waveguide (18?). The optical waveguide (18?) is doped with fluorescent dyes (26). By superposition of the fluorescent radiations white light is generated at the end (22?) of the optical waveguide.

Abstract: A device is part of an injection system for injecting a foldable intraocular lens (IOL) into a human eye. The device contains a folding area with two pivotably interconnected half-shells which can be pivoted from an open starting position to a closed finishing position. A sheet-like band loop is provided which is secured with a securing end on the first half-shell and is guided displaceably on the second half-shell. In the open starting position, a receiving space for the IOL is formed between the band loop and the two half-shells. By pulling on the displaceably guided band loop, the half-shells can be moved in the direction toward their finishing position. The band loop on the one hand permits reliable and gentle folding of the IOL. At the same time, the band loop permits storage of the IOL, in the unfolded state, in the folding area.

Abstract: A device for the generation of white light serves in particular for the illumination of the interior of the eye. A semiconductor laser (10′) emits radiation in the blue/violet/ultraviolet region of the spectrum, which is coupled into an optical waveguide (18′). The optical waveguide (18′) is doped with fluorescent dyes (26). By superposition of the fluorescent radiations white light is generated at the end (22′) of the optical waveguide.
