Title: Holger Joachim Mönch: Inventor of a Light-Barrier Device
Introduction
Holger Joachim Mönch is an inventor associated with Vaals, the Netherlands, and Robert Bosch. His patent work includes a device designed to produce a light barrier using a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL).
Latest Patents
Mönch is credited with 1 patent: “Device for Producing a Light Barrier.” The device uses a laser unit containing at least one VCSEL, a photodiode, and a reflector. The reflector directs light from the VCSEL back toward the photodiode, which generates a detection signal. By subtracting the signal’s direct-current component, the system produces an alternating-current evaluation signal with a higher signal-to-noise ratio. This enables an evaluation device to detect an interruption in the reflected light, even when self-mixing interference is absent.
Career Highlights
Mönch’s documented patent contribution focuses on optical sensing and light-barrier technology. His work is associated with Robert Bosch, a company active in engineering and technology.
Collaborations
Hans Spruit and Pieter Hoeven are identified as Mönch’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or the development of the device.
Conclusion
Holger Joachim Mönch’s patent describes a light-barrier device that improves signal evaluation through VCSEL-based optical sensing and signal processing.
