Abstract
Structured light generating modules and systems are described. An example structured light generating module includes an array of discrete light sources, an array of discrete fanout elements, and an array of discrete collimator elements interposed between the array of discrete light sources and the array of discrete fanout elements. Each of the discrete collimator elements within the array of discrete collimator elements is aligned to a respective discrete light source within the array of discrete light sources. Each of the fanout elements within the array of discrete fanout elements is aligned to a respective discrete collimator element within the array of discrete collimator elements. Each of the respectively aligned discrete light sources, collimator elements, and fanout elements is configured to generate a unit-cell structured light illumination comprising one or more individual illumination features over at least a portion of a field of illumination of the structured light generating module, wherein one or more of the unit-cell structured light illuminations collectively are a structured light illumination.
