Title: The Innovations of Dieter Muellner
Introduction
Dieter Muellner is a notable inventor based in Brannenburg, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical devices, particularly in the development of tunable filter technology. With a total of 2 patents, his work has garnered attention in both academic and industrial circles.
Latest Patents
One of Muellner's latest patents is a Dynamical Fabry-Perot tunable filter device. This invention describes a Fabry-Pérot tunable filter device that features reflecting elements separated by an optical path length to form an optical resonator cavity. A first actuator means is directly or indirectly coupled with a first reflecting element. This actuator is designed to modulate the optical path length between the first and second reflecting elements by a modulation amplitude. This modulation allows the optical resonator cavity to sweep through a band of optical resonance frequencies with a sweep frequency of 70 kHz or more. The mechanical coupling between selected elements of the arrangement is sufficiently low, enabling the selected elements to act as a system of coupled oscillating elements when operated at the sweep frequency. Additionally, the first actuator means can be configured to substantially drive the first reflecting element only.
