Communication between an optical measuring device and two measuring cells accommodated therein

An optical measuring device for determining polarization-optical properties of a sample, the optical measuring device comprising

• a polarization state generator configured to prepare a measuring light propagating along an analysis beam path with a defined polarization state;
• a receiving equipment arranged downstream of the polarization state generator in the analytical beam path and configured to receive at least a first measuring cell and a second measuring cell;
• a polarization state analyzer arranged downstream of the receiving equipment in the analysis beam path;
• a detector, which is arranged downstream of the polarization state analyzer in the analyzing beam path, for detecting an intensity of the measuring light;
• a stationary transmitting/receiving system configured to communicate with at least one of the first measuring cell and the second measuring cell;
• and
• an evaluation and control unit for evaluating measuring signals from the detector and/or from the polarization state analyzer and/or from the polarization state generator, taking into account information communicated between the stationary transmitting/receiving system and at least one of the two measuring cells
• wherein at least one of the following features applies:
• wherein the stationary transmitting/receiving system is mounted to a chassis of the optical measuring device such that the stationary transmitting/receiving system is spaced apart from the first measuring cell and/or from the second measuring cell along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the measuring light;
• wherein the stationary transmitting/receiving system is further configured to transfer energy to the first measuring cell and/or the second measuring cell;
• wherein the optical measuring device further comprises a first tempering device arranged and configured to temper the first measuring cell, and a second tempering device arranged and configured to temper the second measuring cell;
• wherein the stationary transmitting/receiving system comprises at least one multi-stack diode.
