A device comprising: an illumination device for emitting an illumination beam, the illumination device comprising: an emitter array comprising multiple light emitters; and a meta-structure or micro-prism array comprising multiple transmission areas, the meta-structure of micro-prisms being positioned to receive light emitted from the emitter array, in which light from the meta-structure of micro-prism forms the illumination beam, in which a first one of said multiple transmission areas is arranged to emit light in a different direction than a second one of said multiple transmission areas.

Illumination device

A device includes an illumination device for emitting an illumination beam. The illumination device includes an emitter array including multiple light emitters; and a micro-lens array (MLA) including multiple micro-lenses. The MLA is positioned to receive light emitted from the emitter array. Light from the MLA forms the illumination beam. A first region of the MLA is offset from the emitter array by a first offset amount, and a second region of the MLA is offset from the emitter array by a second offset amount different than the first offset amount.

Producing illumination beams using micro-lens arrays

An apparatus includes a light source operable to produce light having a wavelength, an optical component disposed over the light source so as to intersect a path of light produced by the light source, and at least one electrically conductive trace on a surface of the optical component. A drive controller is operable to regulate optical output power of the light source. The at least one electrically conductive trace is coupled electrically to the drive controller, which is operable to monitor an electrical characteristic of the at least one electrically conductive trace, and to reduce the optical output power of the light source if a value of the electrical characteristic is indicative of a possible eye-safety hazard.

Light emitting module including enhanced eye-safety feature

An apparatus that includes a structured light projector which includes a light source, a metalens, and a diffractive optical element (DOE) multiplier. Each of the metalens and the DOE multiplier is integrated onto the light source. The structured light projector is operable such that light beams produced by the light source pass through the metalens and the DOE multiplier.

A VCSEL illuminator package includes one or more VCSELs in a substrate. The one or more VCSELs are operable to generate a VCSEL output radiation beam. An encapsulant covers the one or more VCSELs, and an optical structure is integrated in the encapsulant. The optical structure is disposed in a path of the VCSEL output radiation beam and is operable to change at least one of a propagation characteristic or intensity distribution of the VCSEL output radiation beam exiting the encapsulant.
