    Abstract: The illumination module for emitting light (5) can operate in at least two different modes, wherein in each of the modes, the emitted light (5) has a different light distribution. The module has a mode selector (10) for selecting the mode in which the module operates, and it has an optical arrangement. The arrangement includes—a microlens array (LL1) with a multitude of transmissive or reflective microlenses (2) which are regularly arranged at a lens pitch P (P1);—an illuminating unit for illuminating the microlens array (LL1). The illuminating unit includes a first array of light sources (S1) operable to emit light of a first wavelength L1 each and having an aperture each. The apertures are located in a common emission plane which is located at a distance D (D1) from the microlens array (LL1). In a first one of the modes, for the lens pitch P, the distance D and the wavelength L1 applies P2=2·L1·D/N wherein N is an integer with N≥1.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes proximity sensor modules that include a time-of-flight (TOF) sensor. The module can include a plurality of chambers corresponding, respectively, to a light emission channel and a light detection channel. The channels can be optically separated from one another such that light from a light emitter element in the light emission chamber does not impinge directly on light sensitive elements of the TOF sensor in the light detection chamber. To achieve a module with a relatively small footprint, some parts of the TOF sensor can be located within the light emission chamber.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical device comprising providing a plurality of initials bars each having a first side face presented with a first optical component arrangement; positioning the initial bars in a row with their first side faces facing a neighboring one of the initial bars; fixing the initial bars to obtain a bar arrangement; obtaining prism bars by segmenting the bar arrangement by at least one of the steps: conducting a plurality of cuts so that each prism bar comprises a portion of at least two different ones of the initial bars, separating the bar arrangement into sections along cut lines or by creating cut faces at an angle with initial-bar directions; dividing the first optical component arrangement for obtaining a plurality of passive optical components, wherein each prism bar comprises one or more passive optical components comprising a first reflective face each which is of non-planar shape; segmenting prism bars into parts.
