Title: Werner Fuss: Innovator in Spectroscopy and Laser Technology
Introduction
Werner Fuss is a notable inventor based in Garching, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the fields of spectroscopy and laser technology. With a total of 3 patents, his work has advanced the understanding and application of these technologies.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a non-dispersive infrared spectrometer. This invention provides a method and apparatus for the selective determination of an isotope portion of a measuring gas using non-dispersive spectroscopy. The method involves sensitizing in a first ray path to the isotope component and sensitizing in a second ray path to the isotope-pure measuring gas. Additionally, it includes electronically amplifying the measurement results. To enhance selectivity and sensitivity while maintaining a simple construction, an additional optical filtering is performed in the first ray path using a filter filled primarily with isotope-pure measuring gas. The electronic measurement value from the second ray path is incorporated by adjusting the amplification factor and an offset in the electronic amplification of the first ray path.
Another significant patent by Fuss relates to generating laser radiation with multiple wavelengths. This invention describes a method and apparatus for producing pulsed laser radiation that contains components at several freely selectable wavelengths. The multi-wavelength emission is synchronized in time, propagates in precise spatial overlap, and maintains the same beam parameters in a common propagation direction. A preferred embodiment of this method is a low-pressure CO₂ laser gas discharge combined with a multi-wavelength resonator that includes a Q switch.
