Abstract: A laser assembly, such as a flood illuminator, has laser (e.g., VCSEL) emitters on a substrate configured to emit optical signals. An optic structure of optically transparent material, such as a polymer, is formed directly on the substrate, and micro-optic elements are nano-imprinted on the optic structure. The micro-optic elements are arranged in optical communication with the optical signals emitted from the laser emitters to perform field mapping or other optical functions. The laser emitters are on the same surface of the substrate as the optic structure along with electrical contacts so forming the optic structure involves covering the electrical contacts with a protective layer, dispensing a polymer for the optic structure, cutting away portions of the optic structure, removing the remaining protective layer, and exposing the electrical contacts.

Abstract: VCSEL-based flood illuminators are fabricated to be compact and surface-mounted devices. A substrate is constructed as a panel array having top and bottom electrodes. Individual ones of the VCSEL dies are mounted in electrical communication with pairs of the top electrodes. The VCSEL dies are encased in an encasement disposed on the top surface of the substrate, and a diffuser structure is nano-imprinted adjacent each of the VCSEL dies. The encasement can use a potting resin and a polymer layer. The potting resin encases the VCSEL dies. The polymer layer is softer and is disposed on the potting resin. Nanoimprint lithography forms the diffuser structures in the polymer layer. The panel array is then singulated to form the individual VCSEL-based flood illuminators.
