A spectrometer comprises a plurality of isolated optical channels comprising a plurality of isolated optical paths. The isolated optical paths decrease cross-talk among the optical paths and allow the spectrometer to have a decreased length with increased resolution. In many embodiments, the isolated optical paths comprise isolated parallel optical paths that allow the length of the device to be decreased substantially. In many embodiments, each isolated optical path extends from a filter of a filter array, through a lens of a lens array, through a channel of a support array, to a region of a sensor array. Each region of the sensor array comprises a plurality of sensor elements in which a location of the sensor element corresponds to the wavelength of light received based on an angle of light received at the location, the focal length of the lens and the central wavelength of the filter.

Spectrometry systems with decreased light path

Spectrometry system with decreased light path

A hand held spectrometer is used to illuminate the object and measure the one or more spectra. The spectral data of the object can be used to determine one or more attributes of the object. In many embodiments, the spectrometer is coupled to a database of spectral information that can be used to determine the attributes of the object. The spectrometer system may comprise a hand held communication device coupled to a spectrometer, in which the user can input and receive data related to the measured object with the hand held communication device. The embodiments disclosed herein allow many users to share object data with many people, in order to provide many people with actionable intelligence in response to spectral data.

Spectrometry systems, methods, and applications

This disclosure describes illumination assemblies operable to generate a patterned illumination that maintain high contrast over a wide temperature range. An implementation of the illumination assembly can include an array of monochromatic light sources positioned on an illumination plane, first and second optical elements, and an exit aperture. A chief ray of each light source within the array of monochromatic light sources can substantially converge at an exit aperture. In such implementations light generated by the array of monochromatic light sources can be used efficiently.

Illumination assembly for 3D data acquisition

This disclosure describes optical assemblies that generate output with substantial stability over a wide variation in temperature. The optical assemblies can be integrated, for example, as part of array generators arranged to project an array or other pattern of dots onto an object or projection plane.

Athermal optical assembly

Optical assemblies include a stack of optical elements each of which has one or more alignment features. Each alignment feature traces a respective curve along a surface of one of the optical elements. The alignment feature(s) of one optical element fit within the alignment feature(s) of the other. In some cases, the alignment features can help establish more precise lateral alignment of the optical elements.

Optical assembly including passive optical elements having alignment features

The present disclosure describes optoelectronic modules (e.g., hybrid lens array packages) that have multiple optical channels, each of which includes at least one beam shaping element (e.g., a lens) that is part of a laterally contiguous array. Each optical channel is associated with a respective light sensitive region of an image sensor. Some or all of the channels also can include at least one beam shaping element (e.g., a lens) that is not part of a laterally contiguous array. In some cases, the arrays can include alignment features to facilitate alignment of the arrays with one another.

Optoelectronic modules including hybrid arrangements of beam shaping elements, and imaging devices incorporating the same

Various stacks of arrays of beam shaping elements are described. Each array of beam shaping elements can be formed, for example, as part of a monolithic piece that includes a body portion as well as the beam shaping elements. In some implementations, the monolithic pieces may be formed, for example, as integrally formed molded pieces. The monolithic pieces can include one or more features to facilitate stacking, aligning and/or centering of the arrays with respect to one another.
