Abstract:
A method for manufacturing high-precision end faces on waveguides, by which the end face of a waveguide formed in a substrate contains microscopically small fractures due to mechanical processing, is characterized by the procedural steps: place a body (20) having a high-precision surface against the substrate (10) in front of the end face of the waveguide (12); introducing an adhesive (22) into the space between the end face of the waveguide (12) and the high-precision surface of the body (20); and allowing the adhesive (22) to set.
Abstract:
In a vertical sensor, a container encases a light absorbing liquid. An air bubble is formed within the light absorbing liquid and is displaced in the event that the container deviates from a vertical indicating position. A light source and a photoelectric detector are arranged on opposite sides of the container and form a light barrier which responds to migration of the air bubble as a result of a deviation of the container from the vertical indicating position. At least one shell portion of the container is of a flexible nature for pressure compensation.
