Abstract
A compact, low cost vcsel projector for high performance stereodepth camera is disclosed. An example apparatus includes an array of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs); an array of micro-lenses coupled to the array of VCSELs, centerlines of ones of the micro-lenses offset relative to centerlines of respective ones of the VCSELs; and a projection lens coupled to the array of micro-lenses.
