Abstract: In a measuring circuit for a capacitive sensor for distance measurement and/or space monitoring comprising sensor wire and shielding electrode, a sine signal is applied to the shielding electrode. The sensor wire is connected, via a shielded cable, with one input of an input amplifier which serves as current-voltage converter and whose supply voltage is likewise influenced by the sine signal. The output of the input amplifier is connected with one input of a phase-dependent rectifier arrangement, the sine signal is applied to the other input of the phase-dependent rectifier arrangement, and its output is connected to an analog-to-digital converter.

It is not sufficient to utilize the silicon etching technique for the precision. The optical transmitting element (LD) is situated on a first carrier (T1), the optical receiving element (PD) and the transmission fiber (Fa) are situated on a third carrier. Provided in between them is a second carrier (T2) which is transparent to the wavelength of the light emitted by the transmitting element (LD). The carriers are structured by means of anisotropic etching in order to make possible the accommodation of the individual components. In addition, the carriers lie flat on one another and can thus be adjusted. A monitor diode (MD) is provided. Application of the arrangement in all transmission systems having optical waveguides.

Abstract: A method for producing a hybrid integrated optical circuit which utilizes a molding tool having holding devices for an electrooptic semiconductor component and negative molds for a waveguide trench and holding devices for an optical waveguide. The holding devices of the molding tool adjust the electrooptic semiconductor component with respect to the negative mold of the waveguide trench during reshaping with a polymer. The basic unit produced consists of the electrooptic semiconductor component, which is adjusted with respect to the waveguide trench molded in the polymer. Adjoining the waveguide trench are holding devices, which are molded in the polymer and by means of which an optical waveguide can be coupled to the waveguide trench in a self-adjusting fashion. The basic unit and the optical waveguide are permanently connected to one another with the aid of a cover, the waveguide trench being filled with an optically transparent material, as a result of which a waveguide is formed.
