An optical element driving mechanism is provided. The optical element driving mechanism includes a fixed portion, a first blade, a transmission assembly, and a driving assembly. The first blade is movable relative to the fixed portion. The transmission assembly is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly is used for driving the transmission element to move relative to the fixed portion.

The disclosure relates to an optical system, for example a lithography system, comprising an aperture stop having an aperture with an edge for delimiting a beam path of the optical system on its outer circumference. The optical system also includes a heat stop arranged upstream of the aperture stop for partially shading the aperture stop. The edge of the aperture stop is excluded from the shading.

An optical assembly is provided for use in holographic display of a replay image. The optical assembly may be of particular use is an augmented reality headset. The optical assembly includes a light-modulation element arranged to be illuminated off-axis by a light beam. The light-modulation element modulates the incident light to generate a replay image and generates a zero-order light beam. A focusing system is arranged after the light-modulation element. A light remover is positioned after the focussing system and is configured to remove the zero-order light beam from the light focussed by the focussing system. The focussing system is configured to focus zero-order light from the light-modulation element in a first plane different from a second plane which is the plane of focus of parallel light of the replay image. The light remover removes the zero-order light in the first plane.

An imaging system lens assembly includes six lens elements, which are, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical path, a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element and a sixth lens element. Each of the six lens elements has an object-side surface towards the object side and an image-side surface towards the image side. The third lens element has negative refractive power. At least one surface of at least one of the first lens element to the sixth lens element includes at least one inflection point.

A camera module includes an imaging lens assembly and an image sensor. The imaging lens assembly includes a plastic optical element with a light-blocking layer disposed on its transparent surface. The plastic optical element includes an optical effective area, and a peripheral region of the light-blocking layer forms a specific shape around the optical effective area so as to define an aperture region. The peripheral region includes a main portion and a compensation portion. The main portion is physically contacted with the transparent surface. The compensation portion is disposed on an edge of the main portion adjacent to the optical effective area, and an optical density of the compensation portion is lower than an optical density of the main portion. The image sensor is disposed on an image side of the imaging lens assembly for defining a maximum image height and further defining a relative illumination.

An optical imaging lens is provided. The optical imaging lens includes sequentially from an object side to an image side along an optical axis: a first lens with a positive refractive power; a second lens with a negative refractive power; a third lens with a refractive power, an object side surface of the third lens being a convex surface, an image side surface of the third lens being a concave surface; a fourth lens with refractive power, an object side surface of the fourth lens being a convex surface, an image side surface of the fourth lens being a concave surface a fifth lens with a negative refractive power, an object side surface of the fifth lens being a convex surface, an image side surface of the fifth lens being a concave surface; and a sixth lens with a refractive power.

An optical element driving mechanism includes a fixed portion, a movable portion, a driving assembly, and a circuit assembly. The movable portion is connected to the optical element and is movable relative to the fixed portion. The driving assembly drives the movable portion to move relative to the fixed portion. The circuit assembly is connected to the driving assembly. The driving assembly is electrically connected to an external circuit via the circuit assembly.

An apparatus in the field of optics technology, can include a reflector, a reflector substrate, and an extinction component. The reflector can be mounted on the reflector substrate. The extinction component can be arranged on a front surface of the reflector substrate. The reflector can be configured to reflect incident light signals. The extinction component can be configured to reduce the scattered light produced by the incident light signal on the reflector substrate. An optical scanning device (for example, lidar) having such features may greatly reduce the scattered light inside the lidar, reduce the detection blind area caused by the stray light, and greatly improve the receiving and detecting capabilities of the lidar.

A pupil tracking system including a light source for illuminating a viewer's eye, an aperture located to pass light from the light source after retro-reflection from the viewer's pupil, the aperture sized and shaped to pass the light from the light source and block at least a portion of other light arriving at the aperture, and a light sensor for tracking a location of a spot produced by the light from the light source which passed the aperture. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
