Self-cleaning optical system |
摘要 |
A self-cleaning optical system for the transmission or reflection of light to and/or from a process region comprises a liquid bath and a transparent or reflective optical component continuously rotatable about a non-vertical axis so that a lower part of the component continuously rotates through the bath. When the component emerges from the bath, a coating of the liquid remains thereon which forms a substantially uniform film on at least a part of the component through which the light is transmitted or from which the light is reflected. |

1. A self-cleaning optical system for the transmission or reflection of light to and/or from a process region, the system comprising a bath which is arranged to, in use, contain a liquid, and a transparent or reflective optical component arranged to continuously rotate about a non-vertical axis so that, in use, a lower part of the component continuously rotates through liquid contained in the bath and whereby as the component emerges from the bath a coating of the liquid remains thereon which forms a substantially uniform transparent film on at least a part of the component through which transparent film the light is transmitted or from which the light is reflected back through the transparent film. |
