Abstract

A method for determining the refractive index profile of a preform when the RIP is not substantially symmetrical. (i) The preform is scanned, starting with a first projection angle, and raw data are created representing the object through measured data. (ii) Optionally, the object is rotated and step (i) repeated iteratively until all projection angles have been scanned and all measured data have been created. (iii) The measured data are processed to form a sinogram and, if the optional step (ii) has been completed, the method proceeds to step (v). (iv) The object is rotated and steps (i) and (iii) are repeated iteratively until all projection angles have been scanned. (v) A 2D RIP is calculated. (vi) A line section of interest is selected within the 2D RIP. (vii) A fitting procedure is applied to the line section of interest. (viii) Finally, refractive index steps/gradients and dimensions are determined.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a noble metal mesh on a flatbed knitting machine which comprises at least one needle bed and at least one knitted fabric take-up device which is spaced apart at a distance (D) from the at least one needle bed. Here, first of all at least part of a supporting mesh is knitted over at least the length of the distance between the needle bed and a take-up device of the flatbed knitting machine. Within the context of the invention, it has been recognized to be surprising that the knitting of a supporting mesh with the use of a noble metal-free supporting thread over a minimum length before the beginning of the knitting of the noble metal mesh has a stabilizing effect on the knitting process.
