  • Patent number: 11733454
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for homogenization of the output beam profile of a multimode optical waveguide (10). The method comprises the following method steps: splitting input radiation (2) of coherent light over two or more beam paths (I-IV), modulating the radiation in at least one of the beam paths (I-IV), combining the beam paths (I-IV) by superimposing the modulated radiation onto the input (9) of the multimode waveguide (10), where the radiation forms a temporally variable interference pattern, and propagating the radiation using the multimode waveguide (10). The invention furthermore relates to a device for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 11693198
    Abstract: A fiber plug facilitates optical coupling of a light-guiding fiber to a plug receptacle and includes a plug housing for receiving and locking parts of the fiber plug in position relative to one another. The plug housing has: a fiber inlet and a fiber bearing for the spatially fixed reception of the fiber; optically downstream of the fiber bearing along a beam path, an optical lens for collecting light exiting at an end face of the light-guiding fiber and for collimating the collected light; and a coupling surface with an output of the beam path and with a coupling structure for connection to a receptacle structure that is complementary to the coupling structure. An adjustable optical element is arranged optically downstream of the fiber bearing in the beam path and has a first component of a magnetic coupling consisting of two components and a first component of a kinematic coupling.

  • Patent number: 10717575
    Abstract: A bottle housing, bottle housing structure and system for use is disclosed. The bottle housing includes a first member having a top, a first end, and a second end. The bottle housing also includes a second member having a top, a first end, and a second end. The second member is coupled to the first member along respective first ends. The first member and the second member are transitionable between an open position and a closed position. The first member and the second member define a housing cavity when in the closed position. The first member and the second member are configured to house a bottle body in the housing cavity. Respective tops of the first member and the second member are configured to surround a portion of a bottle neck when in the closed position. The bottle housing is configured to receive at least one component therein.
