    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 an optoelectronic system and methods for efficiently capturing three-dimensional data. The optoelectronic system includes a three-dimensional imaging module and a distance measuring module. Data collected via the distance measuring module is used to collect three-dimensional data, such as three-dimensional maps or other representations of three-dimensional objects. Further, the approach can be extended to multiple regions of interest, and can be applied to the acquisition of biometric data.
