Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a housing, an optical device and an image processing module. A first optical module of the optical device captures a first image corresponding to a first side of the housing. A second optical module captures a second image corresponding to a second side of the housing. A third optical module captures a third image corresponding to the second side of the housing. The image processing module is electrically connected with the optical device. The image processing module produces a 360-degree panoramic image according to the first image and the second image. Moreover, the image processing module obtains depth-of-field information of the second image or the third image according to the second image and the third image.

Abstract: A method of making a multi-fiber assembly with irregular hexagonal array, which includes the steps of forming a plurality of primitives each made of a plurality of fibers, said fibers having cylindrical outer surfaces of same diameter and being arranged in an irregular hexagonal array, said irregular hexagonal array having six sides wherein three alternate sides of said primitive are each composed of n fibers and the other three alternate sides of said primitive 11 are each composed of n?1 fibers; and bringing together said primitives in such a way that sides with n fibers of said primitives are in contact with sides with n?1 fibers of other primitive thereby arranging said fibers at a central portion among said primitives in alignment with one another and therefore preventing said fibers at said central portion from squeezing one another.

Abstract: A fused fiber array optics is provided as a LED lens. The fused fiber array optics is formed by multiple fibers having a same numerical aperture arranged and fused together. Each fiber has a transparent core wrapped inside a cladding. By choosing fibers of a particular numerical aperture and using the resultant fused fiber array optics as the lens of a LED device, the manufacturer of the LED device can achieve a desired illuminating range from the LED device.

Abstract: A multiple numerical aperture (MNA) fiber optics array is provided, which contains multiple fibers having two or more different numerical apertures arranged and fused together. Each fiber has a transparent core wrapped inside a cladding having a higher refractive index than that of the core. Therefore, by projecting light beams into the fibers of different numerical apertures from one end, the light beams emitted out of the other end of the fibers have different ranges of coverage. The MNA fiber optics array can be used in its rod form, or after the rod is sliced cross-sectionally. For the latter, the sliced MNA fiber optics array is further fabricated into plano-convex, concave lenses by grinding and polishing, or meniscus lenses by molding.
