A driving device includes two rotor assemblies, a stator assembly, and a positioning assembly. Each rotor assembly includes a rotation axis and a rotor. The rotor includes a hollow chamber. The two rotor assemblies include a first rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly, a rotation axis of the first rotor assembly is parallel with a rotation axis of the second rotor assembly, a rotor of the first rotor assembly is at least partially embedded in a chamber of a rotor of the second rotor assembly. The stator assembly is surroundingly disposed at an outer side of the two rotor assemblies and drives a rotor. The rotor driven by the stator assembly causes another rotor of one of the first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly to rotate. The positioning assembly is located outside of the rotors, and limits the rotors to rotate around corresponding fixed rotation axes.

A processing optical unit for workpiece processing includes a polarizer arrangement comprising a birefringent polarizer element for splitting at least one input laser beam into at least two partial beams each partial beam having one of two different polarization states, and a focusing optical unit arranged downstream of the polarizer arrangement in the beam path and configured to focus the partial beams onto at least two focus zones. The polarizer arrangement has a further optical element arranged downstream of the birefringent polarizer element in the beam path and configured to change an angle and/or a distance of at least one of the partial beams relative to an optical axis of the processing optical unit.

An ophthalmic surgical laser system and method for forming a lenticule in a subject's eye using “fast-scan-slow-sweep” scanning scheme. A high frequency scanner forms a fast scan line, which is placed by the XY and Z scanners at a location tangential to a parallel of latitude of the surface of the lenticule. The XY and Z scanners then move the scan line in a slow sweep trajectory along a meridian of longitude of the surface of the lenticule in one sweep. Multiple sweeps are performed along different meridians to form the entire lenticule surface, and a prism is used to change the orientation of the scan line of the high frequency scanner between successive sweeps. In each sweep, within a central area of the lenticule where the sweeps overlap, the laser is periodically blanked (or delivered with significantly reduced pulse energy) to reduce the total energy delivered in that area.

An image-capturing module successively captures light data in batches for a scene of a whole field of view by adjusting the position of a multifaceted prism, and executes patch process on these batches of the light data to acquire an image over the whole field of view in a higher imaging quality that is generally achieved by a camera module with large number of pixels. The movable multifaceted prism may be together with an image sensing module and a lens module to be within a holder to have a compact volume for an image-capturing mobile phone, wearable device, and/or smart opto-electronics.

A system includes a beam steering assembly configured to adjust an incident beam to form a corrected beam; a beam monitoring assembly configured to generate monitoring data for the corrected beam including one or more offset parameters of the corrected beam; and a controller configured to store one or more zero parameters of the corrected beam, calculate at least one difference between the one or more zero parameters and the one or more offset parameters of the corrected beam, determine one or more beam position adjustments of the incident beam based on the at least one difference between the one or more zero parameters and the one or more offset parameters of the corrected beam, and direct the beam steering assembly via one or more motor drivers to actuate one or more motors to adjust the incident beam to form the corrected beam.

Microscope (2) comprising a coherent light source (4) producing a coherent light beam (7), a light beam guide system (6) comprising a beam splitter (14) configured to split the coherent light beam (7) into a reference beam (7a) and a sample illumination beam (7b), a sample holder (18) configured to hold a sample (1) to be observed, a sample illumination device (28) configured to direct the sample illumination beam (7b) through the sample and into a microscope objective (37), a beam reuniter (16) configured to reunite the reference beam and sample illumination beam after passage of the sample illumination beam through the sample to be observed, and a light sensing system (8) configured to capture at least phase and intensity values of the coherent light beam downstream of the beam reuniter.

A head for directing radiated energy from a source to a coordinate in a field of view defined by at least one of azimuth and elevation, comprises an angled element and a planar reflecting element. The angled element rotates about a first axis and redirects the beam, the redirection of the angled element differing in at least one of direction and extent as it is rotated. An axis normal to the surface extends at an angle to the second axis. The reflecting surface receives the redirected beam at a point thereon and reflects it in a direction within the FOV. A rotator may be positioned between the source and the angled element to support and independently rotate the angled element and the reflecting surface about the first and second axes without impeding the energy.

A near-eye display device is provided, including a display light source, a rotation module and a refractive amplification component. The rotation module rotates around the rotation center axis. The rotation module is provided with a light source scanning component and a mirror group. The light source scanning component converts the light of some pixel points of the display light source into radial propagation, and then the light is emitted through the mirror group and the refractive amplification component. The light source scanning component turns the light of some pixel points of the display light source into radial propagation, so that the optical path becomes radial direction from axial direction, and increases the optical path distance without increasing the volume of the device, which is conducive to reducing the thickness and volume of the device.

The surveying device main unit includes: a distance-measuring light-emitting unit; a light-receiving unit; a distance-measuring unit; an optical axis-deflecting unit; an emitting direction-detecting unit; and an arithmetic control unit. The arithmetic control unit controls two-dimensional scanning with a scanning pattern having an intersection at which an outward passage and a return passage of the two-dimensional scanning intersect, updates three-dimensional data of the measurement target each time a light-receiving signal is detected during the two-dimensional scanning, generates weights for detecting a reference point of the measurement target and for detecting a rotation angle of the measurement target in accordance with the distance from the intersection, each time the three-dimensional data is updated, and tracks the measurement target based on the reference point position and the rotation angle of the measurement target calculated using the weights.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for a vibrated polarizing beam splitter for improved return light. An example method may involve emitting, by an emitter, a first light pulse. The example method may also involve reflecting, by a polarizing beam splitter in a first position, the first light pulse, wherein the polarizing beam splitter is at a first angle of incidence in the first position. The example method may also involve adjusting, subsequent to the polarizing beam splitter reflecting the first light pulse, a position of the polarizing beam splitter from the first position to a second position, wherein the polarizing beam splitter is at a second angle of incidence in the second position. The example method may also involve transmitting, by the polarizing beam splitter, a return light pulse through the polarizing beam splitter, the return light pulse based on the first light pulse. The example method may also involve detecting, by a detector, the return light pulse.
