  • ROD LENS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20220146813
    Abstract: To improve the imaging while simultaneously simplifying the manufacturing of a rigid endoscope (2), an inversion system (1) is used as a relay optical unit for the image transfer from an objective (3) to a proximally arranged camera unit (4) of the endoscope (2). The inversion system has an odd number of a first type A of rod lenses (7) and an even number of a second type B of rod lenses (7), which are each arranged on half of the inversion system (1) with respect to a center plane (9) of the inversion system (1).

  • ENVIRONMENTAL ACQUISITION SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING A SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT OF A VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR ACQUIRING A SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT OF A VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20190124273
    Abstract: An environmental acquisition system for acquiring a surrounding environment of a vehicle includes a sensor with a light-sensitive sensor surface and an imaging device that is designed to produce a distorting image of the surrounding environment on the sensor surface, the image having at least two distortion zones each assigned to a different region of acquisition of the environmental acquisition system, in which zones the surrounding environment is imaged with respectively different imaging scales.

  • Optical Apparatus And Method
    Publication number: 20150028195
    Abstract: A deformable optical lens with a lens membrane having an optically active portion that is configured to be shaped over an air-membrane interface according to a spherical cap and Zernike polynomials is provided. The spherical cap and the Zernike polynomials comprise a Zernike[4,0], (Noll[11]) polynomial and are sufficient to model the deformable optical lens to within approximately 2 micrometers.
