A vehicle includes a body of the vehicle and a sensing system coupled to the body. The sensing system includes optical componentry and a glass material, where the glass material at least in part houses the optical componentry and the glass material is at least partially transparent to light at the wavelength of the optical componentry. Further the glass material has mechanical and performance properties that allow the sensing system to be positioned particularly low on the vehicle, at a position that may be of higher risk for damage from debris.

An imaging lens module includes an imaging lens assembly, an image sensor and a plastic lens barrel. The image sensor is disposed on an image side of the imaging lens assembly and has an image sensing surface through which an optical axis of the imaging lens assembly passes. The plastic lens barrel includes an object-end portion, a bottom portion, a first inner hole portion and a second inner hole portion. An object-end surface of the object-end portion faces towards an object side direction of the imaging lens assembly. A tapered surface of the object-end portion is tapered off towards the object-end surface. The bottom portion is located on an image side of the object-end portion. The imaging lens assembly is disposed in the first inner hole portion. The second inner hole portion located on an image side of the first inner hole portion and includes an optical aligning structure.

An optical element driving mechanism is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a movable portion, a fixed portion, a driving assembly, and a stopping assembly. The movable portion is used for connecting to an optical element having a main axis. The movable portion is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly is disposed on the fixed portion or the movable portion to move the movable portion relative to the fixed portion. The stopping assembly connects to the movable portion and the fixed portion to limit the range of motion of the movable portion relative to the fixed portion.

An optical system can include a receiver secured to a first optical component and a flexure arrangement secured to a second optical component. The flexure arrangement can include a plurality of flexures, each with a free end that can extend away from the second optical component and into a corresponding cavity of the receiver. Each of the cavities can be sized to receive adhesive that secures the corresponding flexure within the cavity when the adhesive has hardened, and to permit adjustment of the corresponding flexure within the cavity, before the adhesive has hardened, to adjust an alignment of the first and second optical components relative to multiple degrees of freedom.

An optical engine module and a projection apparatus are provided. The optical engine module is adapted for a projection apparatus. The optical engine module includes a casing, an optical element, a fixing member, and a heat dissipation fin group. The optical element is disposed in the casing. The optical element has a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of side surfaces. Each of the side surfaces is adjacent between the first surface and the second surface. The fixing member is disposed on at least one of the side surfaces of the optical element, and is configured to fix the optical element in the casing. The heat dissipation fin group is disposed on the fixing member and extends out of the casing.

A system includes a diffractive optical element configured to receive a first beam and a second beam interfering with one another to generate a first interference pattern. The diffractive optical element is also configured to forwardly diffract the first beam and the second beam to output a third beam and a fourth beam. The third beam and the fourth beam interfere with one another to generate a second interference pattern. The system also includes a detector configured to detect the second interference pattern.

An imaging apparatus is mounted on a moving object and configured to capture an image while moving along a moving direction of the moving object. The imaging apparatus includes a sensor unit including a sensor substrate on which an image sensor is mounted, and a main unit including a main substrate on which an electronic component configured to process an output signal from the sensor substrate is mounted. The imaging apparatus further includes a heat dissipation fin configured to dissipate heat generated in at least one of the sensor unit and the main unit. The heat dissipation fin is provided in a direction substantially parallel to the moving direction.

A lens assembly, including a lens barrel and a lens. The lens barrel is hollow and includes an interior surface, the lens is disposed inside the lens barrel, and the lens includes a side surface in interference fit with the interior surface, where the interior surface has a hollow area, the side surface includes a micro-convex structure, and the hollow area fits the micro-convex structure. A fit quantity between the micro-convex structure and the hollow area is changed through relative rotation of the lens and the lens barrel, to adjust assembly interference between the lens barrel and the lens. Embodiments further provide a camera module and a terminal, to resolve problems of lens deformation and degraded imaging quality caused by large assembly interference of the lens barrel and the lens.
