It is an object to provide a small and inexpensive laser light source device capable of efficiently focusing rays of laser light from a plurality of laser light sources so as to increase output, and to provide an inexpensive and small video display device. The plurality of laser light source units are arranged in such manner that the plurality of laser light source units adjacent to each other adjoin each other in series. The laser light source device further includes a second reflection mirror reflecting, in a third direction, a ray of laser light reflected in a second direction. The second reflection mirror is held by a mirror holder belonging to one laser light source unit among the plurality of laser light source units.

A laser apparatus includes a plurality of laser modules each generating a laser line in a working plane. The laser modules are juxtaposed so that the laser lines generated by the modules combine into a single laser line. Each of the laser modules includes at least one laser line generator. The laser line generator includes two linear arrays of strips of laser diodes each emitting a focused laser beam. The two linear arrays are arranged parallel to each other so that the strips are staggered. The two sets of parallel laser beams generated by the two linear arrays of strips, respectively, are merged into a single laser line by a set of mirrors. The linear arrays of strips of laser diodes and the mirrors are arranged so that the two sets of laser beams trace optical paths of the same length before being merged into a single laser line.

A device for shaping laser radiation (2), with a first array (7) of optical elements for deflecting and/or imaging and/or collimating the laser radiation (2), the first array (7) having a plurality of optical elements arranged side by side in a first direction (X), and a second array (8) of optical elements for deflecting and/or imaging and/or collimating the laser radiation (2), the second array (8) having a plurality of optical elements arranged side by side in the second direction (Y), wherein the optical elements of at least one of the arrays (7, 8) are mirror elements (9, 10).

The disclosure includes optical systems and near-eye optical elements configured to suppress stray infrared light. Infrared illuminators illuminator an eyebox area with narrow-band infrared illumination light for eye-tracking. A combiner layer receives reflected infrared light reflected of an eye of the user and directs the reflected infrared light to a camera configured to capture eye-tracking images of an eye of a user. An anti-reflection (AR) coating may be disposed on a base curvature to reduce Fresnel reflections that generate stray light. A ghost suppression component may be paired with the infrared illuminators to reduce stray light becoming incident on the camera.

A polarization-modulating element for modulating a polarization state of incident light into a predetermined polarization state, the polarization-modulating element being made of an optical material with optical activity and having a circumferentially varying thickness profile.

Optical apparatus comprising a MEMS substrate having a surface; and a stack of optical coatings which is deposited on the MEMS substrate's surface and which modifies at least one property of light impinging on the stack.

Optical receiver packages and device assemblies that include photodetector (PD) chips having focus lenses monolithically integrated on PD die backsides are disclosed. An example receiver package includes a support structure, a PD die, and an optical input device. The PD die includes a PD, integrated proximate to a first face of the PD die, and further includes a lens, integrated on, or proximate to, an opposite second face. The first face of the PD die faces the support structure, while the second face (“backside”) faces the optical input device. The optical receiver architectures described herein may provide an improvement for the optical alignment tolerance issues, especially for high-speed operation in which the active aperture of the PD may have to be very small. Furthermore, architectures described herein advantageously enable integrating a focus lens in a PD die that may be coupled to the support structure in a flip-chip arrangement.

A light source system and a lighting apparatus comprising: a light-emitting module which emits first light along a first light path and second light along a second light path; a wavelength conversion device which received the first light to emit excited light with a different color from that of the first light; and a compensation device which guides the second light and adjusts a luminous intensity distribution of the second light so that the luminous intensity distribution of the second light exiting from the compensation device is substantially identical to that of the excited light. The second light exiting from the compensation device is combined with the excited light to form third light to be emitted from the light source system. The luminous intensity distributions of the first light and the second light in the third light are substantially the same, and illumination light spots have a uniform color.

This image display apparatus includes a light source, an image generation unit, and a projection optical system. The image generation unit generates image light. The projection optical system includes a first lens system, a first reflection optical system, a second lens system, and a second reflection optical system. The first lens system refracts the image light. The first reflection optical system has two or more reflection surfaces that fold back and reflect the refracted image light.

The second reflection optical system reflects the image light refracted by the second lens system toward a projection object. The first reflection optical system includes an optical component having a principal surface on which one reflection surface of the two or more reflection surfaces is configured.
