Means for transfer of energy by means of laser radiation

In order for a device for transmitting power by means of laser radiation comprising a transmitting unit, the basis of which a specifically geared to a receiving unit energy-transmitting laser beam propagates, wherein the transmission unit and the receiving unit are relatively aligned such that the outgoing from the transmission unit laser beam always to the receiving unit incident to improve operational security, it is proposed that a Hullraumuberwachung is provided which checks a running around the power transmitting laser beam around swept envelope with respect to a present in the swept envelope foreign object and that the Hullraumuberwachung upon detection of such a foreign object in the swept envelope a shutdown signal generated which prevents the leakage of the laser beam energy transmitted from the transmitter unit.
