    Abstract: An arrangement (100), a method and a computer program product for system-integrated calibration of facet mirrors (18, 19) of a microlithographic illumination system (20). Beam paths (103) between a radiation source (101) and a radiation detector (102) are created by the facet mirrors (18, 19), with respectively only one pivotable micromirror (18″, 19″) of each facet mirror (18, 19) affecting said beam path. By methodically pivoting one of the micromirrors (18″, 19″) affecting the beam path (10), it is possible, based on the radiation detector (102), to find a specific optimal pivot position, the underlying orientation of the micromirror (18″, 19″) of which can also be calculated geometrically. By comparing the calculated orientation with the orientation ascertained by a tilt sensor on the micromirror (18″, 19″), it is possible to calibrate the tilt sensor or micromirror (18″, 19″) of the facet mirror (18, 19).

    Abstract: Composite material can include a matrix material, a fiber dispersed in the matrix material, and an ultraviolet (UV)-light sensitive mechanophore grafted to a surface of the fiber. A method for making a fiber-reinforced polymer composite can include contacting a fiber in a first solution, rinsing and then drying intermediate fiber, contacting dried fiber in a third solution, rinsing, and then drying the rinsed fiber thereby generating functionalized fiber that is sensitive to ultraviolet light. The functionalized fiber can be combined with a polymer matrix material, cured, and irradiated, thereby generating a fiber-reinforced polymer composite.

    Abstract: A vehicle including: (a) a water generator configured to generate water; (b) a water storage container configured to store the water that the water generator generates; (c) an ultraviolet light emitter configured to emit ultraviolet light into the water storage container; (d) a sensor configured to detect the ultraviolet light that the ultraviolet light emitter has emitted; and (e) a human-machine interface configured to issue a notification to a user of the vehicle regarding the ultraviolet light emitter. The sensor can detect a wavelength range of the ultraviolet light that the ultraviolet light emitter has emitted. The sensor can detect an intensity of the ultraviolet light at a predetermined wavelength or wavelength range that the ultraviolet light emitter has emitted. The vehicle further comprises a controller in communication with the ultraviolet light emitter, the sensor, and the human-machine interface.

    Abstract: A concealment component for an optical sensor device includes an optical filter and one or more diffusive optical structures. The one or more diffusive optical structures are configured to distribute light in a diffused pattern on an input surface of the optical filter. The optical filter is configured to pass a first set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are associated with a particular wavelength range, and prevent a second set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are not associated with the particular wavelength range, from passing. Preventing the second set of light beams from passing is to cause the second set of light beams to be directed away from or absorbed by the concealment component in a concealment pattern.

    Abstract: A multispectral sensor array can include a combination of ranging sensor channels (e.g., LIDAR sensor channels) and ambient-light sensor channels tuned to detect ambient light having a channel-specific property (e.g., color). The sensor channels can be arranged and spaced to provide multispectral images of a field of view in which the multispectral images from different sensors are inherently aligned with each other to define an array of multispectral image pixels. Various optical elements can be provided to facilitate imaging operations. Light ranging/imaging systems incorporating multispectral sensor arrays can operate in rotating and/or static modes.
