  • Publication number: 20240077688
    Abstract: An optical assembly (100) for use in a wearable device is provided, the assembly (100) comprising: a prism (104), a photonic integrated chip, PIC (108), a substrate layer (106), and a lid (102); wherein the PIC (108) is mounted onto the substrate layer (106); the prism (104) comprising: (i) a first input/output surface (112) optically coupled to the PIC (108), and (ii) a second input/output surface (114) optically coupled to the lid (102), the second input/output surface (114) orientated perpendicularly to the first input/output surface (112), and wherein the prism (104) provides an optical path and reflects a percentage of light from the first input/output surface (112) to the second input/output surface (114). Methods of manufacturing such an optical assembly are also provided.

  • Patent number: 5402432
    Abstract: A semi-conductor laser device constant power output controller including a power input, a laser diode device consisted of a laser diode and a photoelectric diode, a current driver consisted of a first transistor and a second transistor, and an output control consisted of a zener diode and a variable resistor, whereby the electric current to the laser diode is controlled by the second transistor; the electric current to the second transistor is controlled by the first transistor; the photoelectric diode detects the laser beam of the laser diode for feedback reference; the zener diode and the variable resistor control the output power by means of controlling the electric current to the laser diode.

  • Patent number: 5193099
    Abstract: A diode laser collimatting device comprising a laser collimatting socket mounted on a socket holder through plug-in connection with a plastic lens retained therebetween in position, a laser diode inserted in said socket holder, an exciter circuit board inserted in said socket holder and connected to said laser diode, and a contact spring inserted in said socket holder and connected to said exciter circuit board, and wherein inserting said laser diode into said socket holder causes said socket holder, said laser diode, said exciter circuit board, said contact spring and said power supply to form into a circuit permitting said laser diode to be excited by said exciter circuit board to emit light through said plastic lens and said laser collimatting socket; a grid is fastened in said center hole to filtrate the light beam produced from said laser diode.
