Abstract
An optoelectronic apparatus is adapted to generate a structured light pattern. The optoelectronic apparatus has: a first array of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs); a first homogenization optics arrangement associated with the first array of VCSELs; a second array of VCSELs; a second homogenization optics arrangement associated with the second array of VCSELs; and a pattern optics arrangement configured to generate a structured light pattern based on a common homogeneous intensity distribution in an intermediate plane. The first homogenization optics arrangement and the second homogenization, each associated with a different one of the first array of VCSELs or the second array of VCSELs, are arranged such that their intensity distributions add up to the common homogeneous top-hat intensity distribution in the intermediate plane.
