A light source module comprising a semiconductor light source mounted directly to a conducting trace of a multilayer printed circuit board having a core comprising a plurality of core layers electrically and thermally coupled by a plurality of buried vias wherein at least one of the core layers comprises a heat sink plane.

Laser diode chip on printed circuit board

An embodiment of the invention provides apparatus for providing light pulses comprising a light source electrically connected to a low inductance configuration of electrodes for electrically connecting the light source to a power supply.

Light source module

Embodiments are disclosed that relate to controlling a depth camera. In one example, a method comprises emitting light from an illumination source toward a scene through an optical window, selectively routing a at least a portion of the light emitted from the illumination source to an image sensor such that the portion of the light is not transmitted through the optical window, receiving an output signal generated by the image sensor based on light reflected by the scene, the output signal including at least one depth value of the scene, and adjusting the output signal based on the selectively routed portion of the light.

Depth camera feedback

An embodiment of the invention provides a low inductance light source module comprising a connector having a layer of insulating material sandwiched between first and second conducting layers and a semiconducting light source that seats in a recess extending through the first conducting layer and the insulating later and has first and second electrical contacts for receiving power electrically connected to the first and second conducting layers.

Low inductance light source module

An embodiment of the invention provides a low inductance light source module, which may have a small footprint and comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) mount having first and second conducting traces formed on a side of the PCB mount and a semiconducting light source having a first electrical contacts for receiving power that is bonded to the first conducting trace with a conducting bonding material and a second electrical contact for receiving power that is connected by at least one bondwire to the second conducting trace.

Laser die light source module with low inductance

There is provided a novel method, device and system for imaging. According to some embodiments of the present invention, a visible light image sensor array (e.g. Charge-Couple Device ('CCD') or Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor ('CMOS')) and a ranging sensor array may be arranged substantially facing the same direction and having a substantially overlapping field of view. According to further embodiments of the present invention, a range value derived from one or more ranging sensor elements within the ranging sensor array may be correlated with one or more imaging elements within the visible sensor array. Image processing logic may correlate the derived ranging value with the one or more imaging elements as a function of the derived range.
