Publication number: 20230314791Abstract: Disclosed herein is an efficient optical scanning system takes the output of a multi-laser bar emitter with high divergence and delivers a combined beam of long vertical stripes of optical power that have a nearly top hat distribution along a vertical scanning axis and a narrow width along a horizontal scanning axis. This line footprint of the combined beam is scanned by a mirror onto a scene for use as ranging light in a distance measurement system.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: STMicroelectronics International N.V.Inventors: Nenad NESTOROVIC, Jack SCHMIDT

Patent number: 11560998Abstract: A high-efficiency lamp, emitting light from a front surface, and having a high-efficiency light source, producing a first light beam. An iris assembly has an annular body that defines a first annulus and has iris blades which can be extended into the annulus to form a second, smaller, annulus. This iris assembly is positioned relative to the light source so that the iris blades are in front of the high-efficiency light source. The annular body and therefore the first annulus have finite depth from back to front. A light guide is placed immediately behind the iris blades and defines a channel that is open at its back and its front and has a reflective interior surface, with the open back being transversely coincident to the light source so that light from the light source can travel through the channel to and out from the open front.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: RIVERPOINT MEDICAL, LLCInventors: John Thomas Ferguson, Ned Nestorovic, Jack Schmidt
