Optical detection device with reduced light throughput oscillations
First Claim
1. A method to perform a setting of an optical detection device, which detection device comprises:
- a first and a second waveguide, each having an end face adapted for emitting and receiving light and facing each other in a distance d, and an envelope at least partially enveloping the distance d and being adapted for at least partially guiding light between the end sides, the method comprising;
measuring of a transmission characteristic between the waveguides which transmission characteristic showing at least one of a minimum and a plateau and being dependent on the distance d, and setting the distance d to a working point on the distance d in said minimum or plateau, wherein the variation of the transmission around the working point is low, accordingly the derivation of the measured transmission characteristic is low.

Abstract
A method is provided to perform an optimized setting of an optical detection device, with the detection device comprising a first and a second waveguide, each having an end face adapted for emitting and receiving light and facing each other in a distance d, and an envelope which least partially envelopes said distance d and which is adapted for at least partially guiding light between the end sides. The method comprises measuring of a transmission characteristic between the waveguides, which transmission characteristic shows at least one of a minimum and a plateau and which is dependent on the distance d, and setting of the distance d to a working point on the distance d in the minimum or plateau, wherein the variation of the transmission around the working point is low, accordingly the derivation of the measured transmission characteristic is low.

4. A detection device adapted to perform optical analysis, comprising:
-
a first and a second waveguide, each having an end face adapted for emitting and receiving light and facing each other in a distance d, and an envelope at least partially enveloping the distance d and being adapted for at least partially guiding light between the end faces, wherein the distance d is set, based on a previously derived measurement of a transmission characteristic between the waveguides, which transmission characteristic showing at least one of a minimum and a plateau and being dependent on the distance d, to a working point of the distance d, wherein the variation of the transmission around the working point is low, accordingly the derivation of the measured transmission characteristic is low. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
