OPTO-MECHANICAL MOUNTING FOR OPTICAL COMPONENTS
An optical component has a bottom part located in an opening defined by a surface, wherein a distance between a sidewall of the bottom part of the optical component and a sidewall of the opening is non-uniform in which a width of a first section of the opening or a first section of the bottom part of the optical component is narrower than a width of a second lower section of the opening or a width of a second lower section of the bottom part of the optical component; and an adhesive is located in the opening between sidewalls.
IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE
An image capturing device is provided. The image capturing device includes a device housing, a lens module, a restriction unit, and a latch. The device housing has an insertion slot. The lens module pivots on the device housing. Relative to the device housing, the lens module is adapted to be rotated between a first module orientation and a second module orientation. The restriction unit is disposed in the device housing. The latch passes through the insertion slot of the device housing, wherein the latch is adapted to be moved between a first latch position and a second latch position. When the latch is in the first latch position, the latch sufficiently pushes the restriction unit. When the latch is in the second latch position, the pressure from the latch applied to the restriction unit is decreased.
Optical fiber holder
An optical fiber holder for holding an optical fiber includes: a holder main body; and a groove part that is capable of holding a part of the held optical fiber. The optical fiber holder has an adjustment mechanism that is capable of adjusting a position of the groove part with respect to the holder main body in a state where the groove part is placed on the holder main body.
FLEXURE ARRANGEMENTS FOR OPTICAL COMPONENTS
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.
CAMERA MODULE HAVING IMAGE SENSOR LOCATED BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND CIRCUIT BOARDS
A camera module includes a lens driving device having a housing, a first circuit board disposed below the housing, a filter disposed on an upper surface of the first circuit board, a second circuit board disposed below the first circuit board, an image sensor disposed on the second circuit board and coupled to a lower surface of the first circuit board, and a first adhesive member disposed between the lower surface of the first circuit board and an upper surface of the second circuit board, and electrically connecting the first circuit board and the second circuit board. A lower surface of the image sensor is higher than the upper surface of the second circuit board.
