Optical arrangements including Fresnel lens elements
An optical lens arrangement comprises a first Fresnel lens element and a second lens element. The first Fresnel lens element defines a flat surface side and an opposite faceted surface side defining wedge and draft faces. The flat surface side faces towards the eye of a user and the opposite faceted surface side faces away from the eye of the user. The second lens element interfaces with the faceted surface side of first Fresnel lens. The second lens element is selected from the group consisting of: a second Fresnel lens element, a singlet lens element, a doublet lens element and any combination thereof. The first Fresnel lens is proximal relative to the eye of the user and the second lens element is distal relative to the eye of the user. Head mounted devices (HMD) including these optical lens arrangements are provided. Methods of making such optical lens arrangements and HMDs are also provided.
Multi-camera on a chip and camera module design
A camera system includes two or more sensor arrays and an optical path. The sensor arrays are on the same sensor chip. Each sensor array includes the same field of view (FOV) as each other sensor array. The optical path includes a main lens and a metalens that are shared by each sensor array, and a microlens associated with each sensor array. The metalens splits incident light into different spectrums of light and directs each respective spectrum to a corresponding sensor array. The different spectrums of light include at least two of visible light, near infrared light, shortwave infrared and longwave infrared, and at least one sensor array includes single-photon avalanche diodes. The image processor that provides image processing, object recognition and object tracking and/or image fusion functionality may be on the same sensor chip as the sensor arrays.
GEOMETRIC INTRINSIC CAMERA CALIBRATION USING DIFFRACTIVE OPTICAL ELEMENT
Provided are methods for geometric intrinsic camera calibration using a diffractive optical element. Some methods described include receiving, by at least one processor, at least one image captured by a camera based on a plurality of light beams received from a diffractive optical element aligned with an optical axis of the camera, the plurality of light beams having a plurality of propagation directions associated with a plurality of view angles. The at least one processor identifies a plurality of shapes in the image, determines a correspondence between the plurality of shapes in the image and the plurality of light beams, and identifies one or more intrinsic parameters of the camera that minimize a reprojection error function based on the plurality of shapes in the image and the plurality of propagation directions. Systems and computer program products are also provided.
Light-emitting optoelectronic modules
Light-emitting optoelectronic modules operable to generate an emission characterized by reduced speckle can include a coherent light source, a diffuser, and a Fresnel element. The coherent light source is operable to generate a coherent emission, characterized by a coherence length, incident on the diffuser. The diffuser is characterized by a divergence angle. The divergence angle is the angle between a first path-length from the diffuser to a Fresnel element and a second path-length from the diffuser to the Fresnel element, wherein their difference defines a path difference. In some instances, the path difference is substantially larger than the coherence length.
