    摘要: An imaging apparatus of the present invention includes an imaging element, an observation unit that includes a correction lens for correcting a ray angle incident on an eye of a user, and with which a target to be imaged of the imaging element is observable, a storage unit that stores data related to astigmatism of the user, and a processor that controls the correction lens. The processor is configured to execute readout processing of reading out the data from the storage unit storing the data related to the astigmatism of the user, determination processing of determining an inclination of a second direction of the imaging element with respect to a first direction of the eye of the user, and adjustment processing of adjusting a correction amount of the ray angle by the correction lens based on the data read out by the readout processing and a result determined by the determination processing.

    摘要: Resistive bridges can connect many ring electrodes in an electro-active lens with a relatively small number of buss lines. These resistors are usually large to prevent excessive current consumption. Conventionally, they are disposed in the same plane as the ring electrodes, which means that the ring electrodes are spaced farther apart or made discontinuous to accommodate the resistors. But spacing the ring electrodes farther apart or making them discontinuous degrades the lens's optical quality. Placing the ring electrodes and resistors on layers separated by an insulator makes it possible for the ring electrodes to be closer together and continuous with resistance high enough to limit current consumption. It also relaxes constraints on feature sizes and placement during the process used to make the lens. And because the resistors and electrodes are on different planes, they can be formed of materials with different resistivities.

    摘要: Examples of a three-dimensional (3D) optical sensing system for a vehicle include a modular architecture. Light can be transmitted to an optical signal processing module, which can include a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that can create one or more signals with tailored amplitude, phase, and spectral characteristics. The plurality of optical signals processed by the optical signal processing module can be sent to beam steering units distributed around the vehicle. The steering units can direct a plurality of optical beams towards targets. The return optical signal can be detected by a receiver PIC including an array of sensors and using a direct intensity detection technique or a coherent detection technique. The return optical signal can be converted into an electrical signal by the array of sensors, which can then be processed by the electronic signal processing unit, and information about the location and speed of the targets can be quantified.
