A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) device comprising: a laser emitting chip configured to emit laser, a laser detecting chip configured to detect laser, an emitting optic module configured to guide laser generated from the laser emitting chip to the outside of the LiDAR device, a detecting optic module configured to guide laser received from the outside of the LiDAR device to the laser detecting chip, an emitting optic holder located between the laser emitting chip and the emitting optic module, and an at least one emitting optic fixer located between the emitting optic holder and the emitting optic module, wherein the at least one emitting optic fixer is configured to fix a relative position between the laser emitting chip and the emitting optic module.

An alignment feature formed in a lens block during manufacturing has a precise spatial relationship to an optical surface of the lens block such that precise alignment of the alignment feature within the lens block ensures precise alignment of the optical surface within the lens block. Precise alignment of the alignment feature within the lens block is readily assessable whereas precise alignment of the optical surface within the lens block is not. A determination is made as to whether the optical surface is aligned within the lens block by determining whether the alignment feature is aligned within the lens block, and if not, the extent of any misalignment. The extent of misalignment may then be used to adjust the manufacturing process to eliminate the alignment error.

A variable focal length (VFL) imaging system comprises a camera system, a first high speed variable focal length (VFL) lens, a second high speed variable focal length (VFL) lens, a first relay lens comprising a first relay focal length, a second relay lens comprising a second relay focal length, and a lens controller.
