Abstract: A shielding mesh to counter scattered ionizing radiation is provided. The shielding mesh includes a plate, arrangement of depressions, a mesh of trenches, and an x-ray-absorbing material. The plate has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The arrangement of depressions are in the plate and are open toward the second side. The mesh of trenches are in the plate and are open toward the first side. The x-ray-absorbing material is in the mesh of trenches. The mesh of trenches and arrangement of depressions are configured so that a wall of the plate remains between the arrangement of depressions and the mesh of trenches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a waveguide (1) for transmitting electromagnetic waves, in particular for transmitting image information from a proximal end (2) of the waveguide to a distal end (4) of the waveguide, along a transport direction (5) extending between the proximal and distal ends, and over a cross-section extending transversely to the transport direction, wherein light may be transmitted through the waveguide (1) by Anderson localization, and wherein the waveguide (1) has an improved properties compared to conventional fiber optic bundles.

Abstract: An illumination system is provided that includes a spatial fiber arrangement with an optical element at the distal end of the fiber arrangement. The fiber arrangement has a first region including individual fibers with a significantly smaller active diameter in comparison with the individual fibers of a remaining region. The optical element at the distal end is assigned the remaining region. The fiber arrangement can be a rigid fiber rod that includes an intermediate region provided between the first region and the remaining region. The intermediate region suppresses stray light transfers between the first and remaining regions. The fiber arrangement can include an optical coupling element at a proximal end of the fiber rod.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to structured protective windows that have high transmission efficiency and can isolate light between different sections of the window. The structured protective windows are less prone to glass breakage compared to conventional protective windows that are typically used to protect and isolate light transmitting and light receiving components in LiDAR exterior automotive applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to light isolating arrays (can also be called “light pipes” or “light pipe arrays”) that enable high transmission efficiency and isolation of light from one location, for example a lens, to another location, for example an array of photodetector diodes (each a “PD”). The light isolating arrays can provide optical isolation of the input light and can eliminate cross talk thus enhancing the resolution via increased contrast of the incoming signal. The light isolating arrays can also protect the PD's from contamination when used in outdoor devices.
