摘要： A method of generating a sequence of high-voltage ignition sparks is described, wherein an ignition energy storage device is charged up to a specifiable charge state. By a discharge of the ignition energy storage device, a spark is generated on an ignition spark generating means connected to the ignition energy storage device. A recharging operation of the ignition energy storage device is started before the ignition energy storage device is completely discharged. By discharging the ignition energy storage device, an additional ignition spark is generated on the ignition spark generating means.

摘要： To reduce the size of a high-voltage semiconductor optically responsive switch, for example suitable to control the flow of ignition energy from an ignition coil (4) to a spark plug (ZK), a stack of disk or plate-shaped semiconductor chips (9) is formed with the major surfaces of the chips placed against each other and light responsive regions of the chips at the outer surface thereof to form an array of chips with a control surface (14). The light responsive regions (13) are large enough so that, at any position of the respective chips in the array, the can receive sufficient switching energy from a point source, such as a light emitting diode (17) (LED). Thus, a single LED can control all the semiconductor switching elements. Energy for operation of the LED can be obtained, directly, by connecting the LED across a capacitor (C) in series between the ignition coil (4) and the high-voltage semiconductor switch (2), with an additional opto-electronic switch (20, TH), controlled by a control circuit (16) therewith which, when rendered conductive by the control circuit, will cause the LED (17) to fire.

摘要： An ignition device, in particular for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, having a laser device for generating laser pulses, and having an optical fiber device which is at least optically connected to the laser device for supplying the laser device with pumped light. The optical fiber device is configured and situated in the region of the laser device in such a way that radiation incident in the region of the laser device and/or in the region of a combustion chamber associated with the laser device may be injected into the optical fiber device. The disclosed configuration of the optical fiber device advantageously allow the radiation which is injected into the optical fiber device to be analyzed, in particular using a detector which is remotely situated, without having to provide additional, separate optical fiber devices for the radiation to be analyzed, because the radiation to be analyzed may be conducted directly via the same optical fiber that is already used for supplying pumped light.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine including a fuel-injection unit and a laser ignition-unit. According to the invention, during a compression cycle of the internal combustion engine, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber by means of the fuel-injection unit in such a way that an ignitable, round, flat mixed region of fuel and air forms on a plunger and a predetermined period elapses between the end of the fuel injection and the start of ignition in order to form the round flat mixed region. Ignition then takes place within the flat round mixed region by means of the laser-ignition unit.
