    Abstract: A directable light beam handling device for use in optical communication contains is provided that contains a rotation mechanism with a rotatable ring of soft magnetic material encircling a path of the beam from a beam expander. A mirror or prism being coupled to the rotatable ring is rotated with the ring. The ring includes an array of soft magnetic ridges, forming elevations extending from a surface of the ring. At least three electromagnets are used to drive rotation of the ring around the beam axis. Each electromagnets comprises a soft magnetic yoke, having poles at a first and second end portion of the yoke. The pole at the first end portion faces said surface of the ring, the first end portion having ridges elevated from the yoke in the direction towards the ring, in parallel with the ridges of the ring.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a light guide mirror assembly, which includes at least two thin prisms in combination with a rotating module. The thin prisms are oriented to direct the light beam towards the designated spot. The bases carrying the thin prisms are fixed by base fasteners or a moveable holder module, and the thin prisms are adjusted in terms of the spacings among them, the inclined angle thereof and the settings thereof to improve the output orientation and beam convergence of the light beam. The invention is useful in illumination, photo-thermal power generation, photovoltaic power generation, heat extraction air conditioner and light beam communication. The invention is also useful in other applications, such as weather control, fire extinguishment, pest control, energy transmission, telecommunication, rock cutting, molten lava casting and light beam probing.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lens device (1), comprising: a transparent and elastically expandable membrane (10), an optical element (20) opposing the membrane (10), a wall member (300), wherein the optical element (10) and the membrane (10) are connected to the wall member (300) such that a volume (V) is formed, a fluid (F) residing in said volume (V), and a lens shaping member (11) attached to the membrane (10). According to the invention the lens device (1) comprises an actuator means (40) that is designed to move the optical element (20) in an axial direction (A) with respect to the lens shaping member (11) so as to adjust the pressure of the fluid (F) residing inside the volume (V) and therewith a curvature of said membrane (10), wherein said axial direction (A) is oriented perpendicular to a plane spanned by the lens shaping member (11), and wherein said actuator means (40) is designed to tilt the optical element (20) with respect to said plane, particularly so as to form the volume into a prism for deflecting light passing the volume. Further, the invention relates to a method for adjusting a lens device (1) and for image stabilization.

    Abstract: An optical system for imaging an object includes a objective, an image stabilizing unit, an image plane and a drive unit, which is arranged at the image stabilizing unit and provided for moving the image stabilizing unit. The optical system includes a control unit. A signal from the control unit is forwarded to a first high-pass filter. The control unit has an output line and the high-pass filter has a filter output line. Both the output line and the filter output line are arranged at an addition unit such that an actuation signal from the control unit and an output signal from the high-pass filter are added to produce an addition signal. The addition unit is arranged at the drive unit in such a way that the addition signal is used for actuating the drive unit and for moving the image stabilizing unit.
