  • Patent number: 12027653
    Abstract: The invention relates to an illuminating device (1) comprising a substrate (2), a non-transparent spacer (4) which is connected to the substrate (2) so as to be hermetically sealed, an opening in the spacer (4), opposite said substrate (2), and an illumination element (3) positioned beneath the spacer (4) and beneath the opening, which element is connected to the substrate (2) so as to be hermetically sealed, characterized in that the opening in the spacer (4) is closed, so as to be hermetically sealed, by an optical element (5) consisting of a glass material the volume of which comprises at least one luminophore and thus constitutes a luminescent composite glass material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7780655
    Abstract: A medical or cosmetic hand-held laser device with an optical waveguide device is subdivided into a first section and a second section arranged at an angle thereto for emitting laser radiation onto a treatment area. To deflect the laser beam from the first section into the second section as effectively as possible and in particular to launch the laser beam with the lowest possible loss into a waveguide that conducts the laser beam further, the hand-held device is provided with a reflector that is arranged between the two sections and has an essentially elliptical reflective surface.
