  • Patent number: 11815700
    Abstract: An optical lens assembly is produced by an injection-compression molding process. The optical lens assembly includes a lens body and an injection-molded structure. The lens body includes a first lens surface and a second lens surface opposed to the first lens surface. The lens body is divided into an optically effective zone and an optically ineffective zone. The injection-molded structure has at least one gate land in response to the injection-compression molding process. At least a portion of the optically ineffective zone of the lens body is covered by the injection-molded structure, and the injection-molded structure is assembled with and positioned by an external structure. Each of the first lens surface and the second lens surface is one of a multi-aperture lens surface, a lenticular lens surface, an aspheric lens surface, a flat lens surface and a freeform lens surface.

  • Publication number: 20220196981
    Abstract: Lens system suited for a wide variety of applications uses a variety of freeform lens shapes or surfaces, defined typically by Zernike, Chebyshev or X-Y polynomials to enable low f-number, wide field of view, improved off-axis performance, and other optical characteristics not achievable with rotationally symmetric lenses. The design can be implemented using existing manufacturing techniques.

  • Publication number: 20210191143
    Abstract: A structured light generation device includes a laser light source module and a diffractive optical element. After a non-collimated light beam from the laser light source module is received by a diffraction layer of the diffractive optical element, the non-collimated light beam is modulated as an optical information-bearing light. Since no collimator is between the laser light source module and the diffractive optical element, the spacing distance between the laser light source module and the diffractive optical element is shortened. Consequently, the overall structured light generation device is slim.

  • Publication number: 20200371323
    Abstract: Multi-camera optical systems comprising a center camera together with left and right side cameras. The left and right side cameras comprise free form lenses to provide off-axis imaging, where the resulting multiple images permit wide angle, normal, and zoom views of an object space. The center camera can also comprise free form optics such as a double symmetry lens, and overall the free form optics enable low f-number, wide field of view, improved off-axis performance, and other optical characteristics not achievable with rotationally symmetric lenses. The design can be implemented using existing manufacturing techniques.

  • Patent number: 10705213
    Abstract: An optical apparatus includes a photosensitive element, a lens and a microstructure unit. The microstructure unit is arranged between the photosensitive element and the lens. After plural light beams passing through the lens are received by the microstructure unit, travelling directions of the plural light beams are changed. Consequently, at least a portion of the plural light beams is guided to the photosensitive element. In such way, the light collecting efficacy of the photosensitive element is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20200173912
    Abstract: An optical device includes a door, a door control unit, a polarized light generation unit and a spectrum response analysis unit. The polarized light generation unit and the spectrum response analysis unit are located at a first side of the door. When the door is opened by the door control unit, a polarized light from the polarized light generation unit is transmitted through the door and externally projected on an under-test object at a second side of the door, so that a scattered light is generated. After the scattered light is returned back and transmitted through the door, the scattered light is projected on the spectrum response analysis unit, so that the spectrum response analysis unit performs a spectrum response analysis. The optical device has enhanced signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the optical device is capable of acquiring more explicit and diverse inherent information of the under-test object.

  • Patent number: 10545396
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes an optical member with a diffractive optical element. The optical member is directly fixed on a substrate with plural lighting chips. When the lighting apparatus is applied to a laser diode module, the height and volume of the overall laser diode module are reduced. Consequently, the laser diode module is suitably applied to a small-size device.

  • Publication number: 20190324235
    Abstract: An optical apparatus includes plural optical lens groups with a specified field of view and an optical sensor accommodated and fixed within a casing. After a light beam passes through any of the plural optical lens groups, its travelling direction is changed, and it is sensed by the optical sensor and converted into an image signal by the optical sensor. The optical apparatus has a single optical lens module of minimized volume and is able to implement different optical functions simultaneously. Consequently, the fabricating cost of the optical apparatus is reduced, the assembling process is simplified, and the number of components to be assembled is reduced.
