  • Publication number: 20100157428
    Abstract: A glass lens array module with alignment fixture and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. A glass lens array is produced by multi-cavity glass molding and alignment members are arranged on a peripheral of non-optical area of the glass lens array. Optical axis of each of two adjacent glass lens arrays is aligned by corresponding alignment members and the glass lens arrays are assembled by glue. A spacer is disposed between the two adjacent glass lens arrays to form a preset interval if needed. Thus a glass lens array module is formed after curing of the glue. Thereby the alignment of the optical axis of the glass lens is achieved easily and optical precision is also attained. Moreover, the manufacturing processes are simplified and the cost is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20100046057
    Abstract: A MEMS oscillating laser scanning unit (LSU) composed of a MEMS Control Module, a Pre-scan Module and a Post-scan Module is disclosed. The MEMS Control Module consists of a laser source and a MEMS oscillating mirror. The laser source and the MEMS oscillating mirror both are aligned with the same side, opposite to target surface so that laser beam emits from the side of the target surface, reverses by a reflection mirror of the Pre-scan Module and then moves along a plane formed by a central axis as well as an oscillatory rotary axis of the MEMS oscillating mirror, enters center of the MEMS oscillatory mirror. Thus, scanning spots on the target surface are all symmetrical to the central axis. Thus effective area of the MEMS oscillating mirror is reduced and further reduce the cost as well as improve scanning efficiency. Moreover, design of the f? Lens is simpler and the volume of the LSU is reduced.
