A lighting device includes a plurality of semiconductor light sources, the semiconductor light sources being configured to generate different light radiations; and an optical element arranged downstream of the semiconductor light sources, the optical element including on a side facing away from the semiconductor light sources a structure constituted of truncated pyramids.

An IR illuminator for providing infrared radiation for a digital camera having a camera lens with a camera field of view, including equidistant mounting substrates arranged adjacent to the digital camera, IR LEDs mounted to each of the mounting substrates, and a cover lens positioned to cover the IR LEDs. The shape of the free form cover lens is such that an emission pattern of radiation is emitted without entering into the camera lens and the emission pattern of IR radiation has an asymmetric field of view. Two IR illuminators adjacent to the camera are tilted at an angle from the camera optical direction. The cover lens may be a Fresnel lens, or include a diffractive layer or a collimator to shift radiation emitted from the LED to an asymmetric distribution.

The disclosure provides for a free-space optical communication system that includes a first lens group, a field corrector lens, and a second lens group. The first lens group is configured to receive light received from a remote free-space optical transmitter. The first lens group has a first focal plane. The field corrector lens is positioned between the first lens group and the first focal plane of the first lens group and positioned closer to the first focal plane than the first lens group. The first lens group also is made of material having an index of refraction of at least 2.0, and has a second focal plane. The second lens group is positioned at the second focal plane of the field corrector lens and is configured to couple light to a sensor.

A light source-integrated lens assembly includes a lens including first through hole at its center along optical axis, an internal light shielding member including second through hole at its center and first protrusion that protrudes from front surface of the lens, and a light emitting element configured to emit light to target object. The internal light shielding member is fitted into the first through hole and the light emitting element is fitted into the second through hole to form a single integrated unit. The lens receives light emitted from the light emitting element and diffused and reflected from inside the target object. When the internal light shielding member is brought into contact with surface of the target object, the internal light shielding member prevents light emitted from the light emitting element and directly reflected at the surface of the target object from being incident on the lens.

A light emitting control system is provided. The light emitting control system includes a housing, an IR emitter having a central axis and a lens structure. The housing has a receiving space, and the IR emitter is disposed in the receiving space of the housing. The lens structure is disposed on the reflector, the lens structure includes a lens facing the IR emitter, and a cross-sectional shape of the lens along a first cross-sectional line is asymmetric with respect to the central axis of the IR emitter.

A light shaping assembly comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) and a two-dimensional (2D) array formed of a plurality of rows, each row comprising a plurality of light sources mounted on the PCB, each light source comprising a pair of supporting pins for mounting the light source on the PCB. The supporting pins of each light source are bent at an angle that is increasing as a function of a distance between each light source and a selected point on the PCB so that light beams emitted by the light sources are collectively directed toward a common target.

A laser light collecting assembly for a wireless power receiver. The assembly includes a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) mirror and an optical to electrical converter. The CPC mirror has curved internal walls that define an inlet aperture and connect the inlet aperture to an outlet aperture. The inlet aperture may be larger than the outlet aperture. The internal walls may focus a majority of the laser light entering the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture. The optical to electrical converter may be positioned adjacent to the outlet aperture and configured to receive the laser light exiting the outlet aperture so as to convert optical power in the laser light to electrical power.

A stereoscopic 3D imaging system includes multiple imaging sensors with adjustable optics. The adjustable optics are variable to alter the FOV of each of the multiple imaging sensors to improve angular resolution of the imaging system.

A laser processing apparatus includes: a light flux separating-and-combining device configured to polarize and separate a laser light into two polarized light fluxes having polarization orthogonal to each other and emit the two light fluxes with their optical paths matching each other toward different regions of a spatial light modulator, and configured to combine the two polarized light fluxes modulated by the spatial light modulator and emit the two light fluxes toward a condenser lens; and a controller configured to control hologram patterns presented by the spatial light modulator for respective regions of the spatial light modulator irradiated with the two polarized light fluxes such that the laser light is condensed by the condenser lens at two positions different from each other in a thickness direction inside of the wafer and the same as each other in a relative movement direction of the laser light to form modified regions.
