  • Publication number: 20230127319
    Abstract: An optical probe includes a cylindrical lens adapted to receive and transmit incident light. A light-emitting surface of the cylindrical lens is a curved end surface having a concentric ring-shaped diffractive microstructure. A working position of the optical probe is a position where a diffraction order is 1 when the incident light having a design wavelength between a first wavelength and a second wavelength passes through the diffractive microstructure. When passing through the cylindrical lens, the incident light having the first wavelength produces a diffraction effect with the diffractive microstructure and is converged at a first wavelength working position approximately the same as the working position of the optical probe with the diffraction order of 1. After being refracted by the curved end surface, the incident light having the second wavelength is converged at a second wavelength working position approximately the same as the working position of the optical probe.

  • Patent number: 11051680
    Abstract: An endoscope stereo imaging device includes an endoscope lens assembly and an imaging module. The imaging module includes first, second and third lens assemblies, a beam splitter, first and second image sensors and a micro lens array. A light beam from the endoscope lens assembly is transmitted to the beam splitter after passing through the first lens assembly and is split into first and second portions of the light beam. The first portion light beam is transmitted to the first image sensor via the second lens assembly and forms a two-dimensional image. The second portion light beam is transmitted to the second image sensor via the third lens assembly and the micro lens array sequentially and forms a first three-dimensional image.
