Abstract: An optical device includes a substrate and an optical transmitter, which is mounted on the substrate and includes an optical emitter, which is configured to emit a beam of optical radiation, and a transmission lens assembly, which is configured to direct the beam along a transmit axis toward a target. An optical receiver is mounted on the substrate alongside the optical transmitter and includes an optical sensor and an objective lens assembly, which is configured to focus the optical radiation that is reflected from the target along a receive axis onto the optical sensor. An optical baffle is disposed asymmetrically relative to the transmit axis and has an asymmetrical shape configured to block preferentially stray radiation emitted from the optical transmitter toward the receive axis.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method for measuring the position of a camera lens carrier moveable by an autofocus actuator. In some embodiments, the method includes generating a measurement of a magnetic field resulting at least in part from the one or more position sensor magnets. In some embodiments, the generating the measurement of the magnetic field includes measuring a magnetic field component created at least in part by the one or more position sensor magnets fixedly mounted to the camera lens carrier. In some embodiments, the camera lens carrier is moveably coupled to a substrate by the autofocus actuator to provide motion in a direction orthogonal to the substrate. In some embodiments, the generating the measurement of the magnetic field component includes measuring the magnetic field component at a sensor fixedly mounted to the substrate of the autofocus actuator.
