The dual collimator is disposed to collimate the first and second illumination and to provide the first and second illumination to a dual microlens lens array (MLA). The dual MLA has microlens arrays configured to receive the collimated first and second radiation, to provide two illumination output fields, each output field having a different output illumination field angle.

This application pertains to the technical field of LiDAR, and discloses a receiving optical system, a laser receiving module, a LiDAR, and an optical adjustment method. The receiving optical system includes an optical receiving module and a first cylindrical lens. The optical receiving module is configured to receive a reflected laser and focus the received reflected laser. The first cylindrical lens is configured to receive the focused reflected laser and adjust the reflected laser in a first direction. Therefore, the receiving optical system can better perform matching on the photosensitive surface of the receiving sensor, and the energy receiving efficiency of the system is relatively high.

Systems, devices, and methods of manufacturing optical engines and laser projectors that are well-suited for use in wearable heads-up displays (WHUDs) are described. Generally, the optical engines of the present disclosure integrate a plurality of laser diodes (e.g., 3 laser diodes, 4 laser diodes) within a single, hermetically or partially hermetically sealed, encapsulated package. Such optical engines may have various advantages over existing designs including, for example, smaller volumes, better manufacturability, faster modulation speed, etc. WHUDs that employ such optical engines and laser projectors are also described.

Apparatus and methods for coupling an optical beam from an optical source to a hi-tech system are described. A compact, low-cost beam-shaping and steering assembly may be located between the optical source and hi-tech system and provide automated adjustments to beam parameters such as beam position, beam rotation, and beam incident angles. The beam-shaping and steering assembly may be used to couple an elongated beam to a plurality of optical waveguides.

In a plane perpendicular to the optical axis (10) of a lens (2), the direction in which the cylindrical surface has zero curvature is the direction of generatrix of the lens (2), and the direction in which the cylindrical surface has non-zero curvature and that is orthogonal to the direction of generatrix is the direction of curvature of the lens (2). A light source (1) is disposed at the focal position (21) in the direction of generatrix on the side of the incident surface (3) of the lens (2), and emits light toward the incident surface (3) of the lens (2), the light having a difference between the divergence angle in the direction of generatrix of the lens (2) and the divergence angle in the direction of curvature of the lens (2).

A diffractive optical element includes a unit structure periodically arranged in a first direction and configured to diffract incident light in the first direction. The diffractive optical element has a phase pattern designed such that an angular separation between an outermost diffracted light beam and a second-outermost diffracted light beam along the first direction is smaller than the divergence angle of the incident light.
