  • Patent number: 12215967
    Abstract: A line-scanning three-dimensional sensing system measures a surface profile of an object. In the system, a dispersion optical module (DOM) performs a forward optical process of chromatically dispersing a polychromatic linear light beam into constituent narrowband linear light beams (CNLLBs) and focusing the CNLLBs on different focal planes to form a rainbow light pattern for illuminating a scanned surface of the object. The illuminated object displays an information-bearing color image (IBCI) containing height information of the scanned surface. The DOM captures the IBCI, and performs a backward optical process of optically condensing the captured IBCI to form an elongated light pattern. The backward optical process is an inverse of the forward one. A slit spatially filters the elongated light pattern to form an output light line. A height profile of the scanned surface is obtained by analyzing a spectral content at each point of the output light line.

  • Patent number: 8228604
    Abstract: The EM polarizing structure contains a two dimensional planar variation structure, having medium nodes regularly distributed as a two dimensional planar photonic unit lattice cell array on a plane. Each of the photonic unit lattice cells has an operation axis and is identical at each lattice point, which passes a diagonal of photonic unit lattice cell. The medium nodes within each planar photonic unit lattice cell are distributed asymmetrical with respect to the operation axis direction and identical at each lattice point. The EM polarizing structure is used to modulate an input EM wave around an operation frequency of the photonic band associated with the EM wave polarizing structure. Thus a corresponding output EM wave becomes polarized. Moreover, the EM wave polarizing structure can be integrated with an EM wave emitting source. Thus an output EM wave from the device is polarized.
