Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vw ichtung zur Modulation der optischen Durchlässigkeit -;ines Sirahienganges, insbesondere einer Lichtstrecke, mit einem mittels piezoelektrischem Material angetriebenen und periodisch in den Strahlengang bewegbaren Modulationselement Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist in der US-PS 31 10 824 beschrieben. Das Modulationselement ist bei dieser Vorrichtung an einem Stab befestigt, der praktisch vollständig aus piezoelektrischem Material besteht Da hierfür eine vergleichsweise große Menge piezoelektrisches Materia! notwendig ist, ist diese Vorrichtung sehr aufwendig. Außerdem muß für die Erzielung einer bestimmten Amplitude eine rohe Erregerieistung aufgebracht werden. Davon abgesehen ist nicht offenbart, wie die Ruhelage des Modulationselementes eingestellt werden kann.The invention relates to a weighting for modulation the optical transparency -; ines Sirahienganges, in particular a light path, with a driven by means of piezoelectric material and periodic Modulation element movable in the beam path. Such a device is disclosed in US Pat 31 10 824. The modulation element is attached to a rod in this device, the consists practically entirely of piezoelectric material because a comparatively large amount for this purpose piezoelectric materia! is necessary is this Device very expensive. In addition, a raw amplitude must be used to achieve a certain amplitude Excitation power can be applied. Apart from that, it is not disclosed how the rest position of the modulation element can be adjusted.

Die gleichen Nachteile weist auch die in der US-PS 35 25 873 dargestellte Vorrichtung auf. da auch hier der abzulenkende Stab vollständig aus piezoelektrischem Material besteht, nämlich aus zwei aufeinandergelegten oder im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Streifen, dieThe device shown in US Pat. No. 3,525,873 has the same disadvantages. there too the to be deflected rod consists entirely of piezoelectric material, namely of two superimposed or spaced apart strips that

Auch die GB-PS 5 35 507 zeigt vollständig aus piezoelektrischem Material bestehende Stäbe, die als Schalter oder zur Ablenkung von Lichtstrahlen mittels eines davon bewegten Spiegels dienen. Ähnliche Vorrichtungen zeigen die GB-PS 4 77 989 und US-FS 37 58 199. Die Nachteile bestehen hier gleichfalls darin, daß größere Mengen des teuren piezoelektrischen Materials notwendig sind und die erforderliche Erregerleistung hoch istGB-PS 5 35 507 also shows rods made entirely of piezoelectric material, which serve as switches or for deflecting light beams by means of a mirror moved by them. GB-PS 4 77 989 and US-FS 37 58 199 show similar devices. The disadvantages here also consist in the fact that larger quantities of the expensive piezoelectric material are necessary and the required excitation power is high

In der DE-AS 25 03 096 ist eine Vorrichtung für die Zweistrahiphotometrie beschrieben, bei der ein Modulationselement am freien Ende eines starren Tragarms befestigt ist Das andere Ende des Tragarms ist an einem zwischen zwei Potschuhen angeordneten Elektromagneten angebracht w bei die Aufhängung über einen torsionsfähigen Blechstreifen erfolgt Durch Anlegen einer Wechselspannung bringt der Elektromagnet den Anker und damit den Tragann zu periodischen Schwingungen entsprechend der Frequenz des Wechselstroms.

The other end of the support arm is on a mounted between two pot shoes arranged electromagnet w with the suspension via a torsion-proof sheet metal strips are produced by applying an alternating voltage to the electromagnet Anchor and thus the Tragann to periodic oscillations according to the frequency of the alternating current. The rest position of the support arm is set mechanically, & h. by relocating the entire device by means of two angle brackets <~ l.

Diese Vorrichtung ist in ihrem Aufbau aufwendig und voluminös. Außerdem ist die für eine exakte Funktion notwendige Ruhelageeinstellung umständlich zu handhaben. This device is complex and voluminous in its construction. In addition, it is for an exact function necessary rest position adjustment cumbersome to handle.

Nur beispielhaft unr1 beiläufig wird in der D^-AS 25 03 096 auf einen Antrieb mit piezoelektrischen Kristallen hingewiesen. Näheres ist hierzu nicht offenbart Ein solcher Antrieb wird zudem als nachteilig beurteilt weil die Energie, die mit einer so'chen Vorrichtung geliefert werden kann, geringer ist als bei der Vorrichtung mit Elektromagnet und Anker.For example only, UNR 1 casual is pointed out in the D ^ -AS 25 03 096 a drive piezoelectric crystals. No further details are disclosed in this regard. Such a drive is also judged to be disadvantageous because the energy that can be supplied with such a device is less than in the case of the device with an electromagnet and armature.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß sie kostengünstiger herzustellen ist. wobei gleichzeitig auf einfache Weise eine Verstellung der Ruhelage des Modulationselementes möglich sein soll.The invention is based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the beginning improve that it is cheaper to manufacture. at the same time an adjustment in a simple manner the rest position of the modulation element should be possible.

Diese Aufgabe win.' erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Modulationselement an einem Federelement befestigt ist das an seinem Einspannende mit dem piezoelektrischen Material fest verbunden ist wobei die Ruhelage des Modulationselements durch Variation einer am piezoelektrischen Material anliegenden Gleichspannung einstellbar ist.This task win. ' solved according to the invention by that the modulation element is attached to a spring element at its clamping end with the piezoelectric material is firmly connected with the rest position of the modulation element by variation a DC voltage applied to the piezoelectric material can be set.

Diese Vorrichtung, die in ihrer Grundkonzeption ähnlich aufgebaut ist wie der in der DE-PS 26 13 528 beschriebene Schwingkondensator, zeichnet sich durch besonders einfache konstruktive Gestaltung aus. weil der Aufwand an piezoelektrischem Material gering gehalten werden kann. Auch die erforderliche Erregerleistung ist im Vergleich zu den bekannten Vorrichtungen erheblich geringer. Ferner ist die Vorrichtung wegen ihrer einfachen Ruhelageverstellung leicht zu handhaben.This device, whose basic concept is similar to that in DE-PS 26 13 528 oscillating capacitor described, is characterized by a particularly simple structural design. because the cost of piezoelectric material can be kept low. Also the required excitation power is considerably lower compared to the known devices. Furthermore, the device easy to use because of their simple rest position adjustment.

Die Erfindung wird im nachstehenden an Hand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Das Modulationselement 1. das den Strahl 2 moduliert ist am Federelement 3 befestigt Der Antrieb des Federelements 3 erfolgt von einem piezoelektrischen Material 4.das mit dem Federelement 3 fest verbunden ist.

Beim Anlegen einer Spannung an die Anschlüsse 5 kommt es zu einer Längenänderung im piezoelektrischen Material 4. was eine Verbiegung des Federelements 3 zur Foige hai. MH einem geeigneten Wechselspannungsgenerator 9 (Sinusgenerator oder Selbsterregerschaltung) läßt sich das Federelemeni 3 in genügend starke Schwingungen versetzen, so daß das Modulationselement 1 periodisch in den Strahl 2 taucht und diesen moduliert. Die Schwingungsamplitude kann stufenlos durch Variation der Antriebsspannung gere-When a voltage is applied to the connections 5, there is a change in length in the piezoelectric material 4, which leads to a bending of the spring element 3. With a suitable alternating voltage generator 9 (sine wave generator or self-exciting circuit), the spring element 3 can be set in sufficiently strong vibrations so that the modulation element 1 dips periodically into the beam 2 and modulates it. The vibration amplitude can be continuously regulated by varying the drive voltage.
