  • Patent number: 12035027
    Abstract: A vehicular camera includes a camera housing having a rear camera housing and a front camera housing. The front camera housing includes a lens, an imager and an imager printed circuit board. The lens is held in position relative to the imager by a UV-curable adhesive. With the lens held in position relative to the imager by the adhesive, the outer surface of the imager is devoid of the adhesive and an air gap exists between the lens and the outer surface of the imager. With the adhesive disposed in an uncured state on the imager printed circuit board and laterally outboard of the imager, and with the lens positioned relative to the imager, the adhesive is cured from its uncured state to an at least partially-cured state by exposure to UV light. The rear housing portion is joined at the front housing portion.

  • Patent number: 12025791
    Abstract: A fine-displacement adjusting device is constructed to have a first base portion and a second base portion spacedly encircled therewithin. The fine-displacement adjusting device further includes a first retractable element biased between the first and second base portions, and a first resilient element biased between the first and second base portions. The first retractable element is configured to extend and retract its length along a first axis to move the second base portion in a reciprocating manner. When the second base portion is moved by the first retractable element, the first resilient element moves the second base portion along the first axis to restore the second base portion. Therefore, the second base portion is fine-moved along the first axis in a reciprocating manner for adjusting the fine-displacement of an optical lens relative to an optical light source of a light engine in the first axis.

  • Patent number: 12001003
    Abstract: An accessory optic is described which enables a non-immersed, long working distance microscope objective to be used as a higher-power immersion objective. This is particularly useful for biological imaging of specimens in an index-matching clarification medium. The accessory approach is the opposite of conventional unitized immersion objective design and presents several advantages over conventional design. The front lens element of the accessory may be selected to have precisely the refractive index of the specimen immersion medium and the accessory may be designed for use with immersion media that are incompatible with conventional immersion objectives. A dual accessory enables two such modified objectives to be optimized for light-sheet microscopy.

  • Patent number: 12003071
    Abstract: A method for generating ultrashort pulses includes directing a master beam having ultrashort pulses and at least one slave beam through an optical gate material. The intensity of the slave beam upstream of the optical gate material is lower than that of the master beam upstream of the optical gate material. The optical gate material and the pulses of the master beam are chosen to induce a Kerr effect when the master beam passes through the optical gate material, the Kerr effect producing a modulation of the phase of the slave beam in association with pulses of the master beam when the slave beam passes through the optical gate material. The modulation of the phase of the slave beam is transformed into a modulation of the amplitude thereof using a complementary optical device to generate a slave beam downstream of the optical gate material having ultrashort pulses.
