Abstract:
A VECSEL-type surface-emitting semiconductor laser device is manufactured by providing a first component part (10) comprising a layered first mirror (12), providing a second component part (20) comprising a layered active region (22), permanently joining the second component part to the first component part to form an integral unit, and arranging a second mirror (32) so as to form an optical cavity containing the active region. This method of manufacture enables production at lower cost and enables greater flexibility in the choice of materials for the mirrors and the active region well as for the substrates on which the first mirror and the active region are deposited, as compared to traditional monolithic epitaxy methods. Preferably, the laser device is a IV-VI-type VECSEL emitting in the mid-IR range of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method to determine the volume of small, spherical moving objects in which the objects move through the optical path of a photo electric sensor that comprises at least one light beam transmitter and one light beam receiver, and the change in the light intensity at the light beam receiver caused by objects passing through the optical path is registered and converted into an electrical measurement signal by means of an evaluation unit. The invention is distinguished by the fact that before a measurement process, the amplitude of the electric measurement signal is calibrated to a previously determined average standard volume of the objects and during the measurement process, the volume of each measured object is determined using the change in amplitude of the measurement signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for continuous coating of substrates, in which the substrates are transported continuously through a deposition chamber and, at the same time, measures are adopted for reducing parasitic deposits as well as possible. Likewise, the invention relates to a corresponding device for continuous coating of substrates.
