OPTOMECHANICAL SYSTEM FOR ABSORBING LIGHT OR EMITTING LIGHT AND CORRESPONDING METHOD

The present invention relates to an optomechanical system (1) for absorbing light or emitting light, comprising a static frame element (10), an optical arrangement (40) comprising one or more optical layers (41, 42) capable of capturing incident light (80) and transmitting transmitted light (90), wherein the optical arrangement is arranged to be able to accept the incident light (80) from an internal side and an external side of the static frame element (10), a light absorbing/emitting substrate (50) capable of absorbing the transmitted light (90) or emitting the incident light (80), a shifting mechanism (60) for moving at least one of the layers (41, 42) of the optical arrangement (40) relative to the light absorbing/emitting substrate (50) or vice versa, wherein the shifting mechanism (60) is arranged to move at least one of the layers (41, 42) of the optical arrangement (40) or the light absorbing/emitting substrate (50) translationally through one or more translation element (65) relative to the static frame element (10) in such a way that the transmitted light (90) can be optimally absorbed by the light absorbing/emitting substrate (50), or that the incident light (80) emitted by the light absorbing/emitting substrate (50) can be optimally transmitted by the optical arrangement (40). Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a corresponding method for absorbing light or emitting light with the aforementioned optomechanical system.
