Abstract:
Fabricating optical devices can include mounting a plurality of singulated lens systems over a substrate, adjusting a thickness of the substrate below at least some of the lens systems to provide respective focal length corrections for the lens systems, and subsequently separating the substrate into a plurality of optical modules, each of which includes one of the lens systems mounted over a portion of the substrate. Adjusting a thickness of the substrate can include, for example, micro-machining the substrate to form respective holes below at least some of the lens systems or adding one or more layers below at least some of the lens systems so as to correct for variations in the focal lengths of the lens systems.

Abstract:
An opto-electronic module includes a detecting channel comprising a detecting member for detecting light and an emission channel comprising an emission member for emitting light generally detectable by said detecting member. Therein, a radiation distribution characteristic for an emission of light from said emission channel is non rotationally symmetric; and/or a sensitivity distribution characteristic for a detection in said detecting channel of light incident on said detection channel is non rotationally symmetric; and/or a central or main emission direction for an emission of light from said emission channel and a central or main detection direction for a detection of light incident on said detection channel are aligned not parallel to each other; and/or at least a first one of the channels comprises one or more passive optical components.

Abstract:
The optical apparatus comprises a semiconductor substrate and at least one optics substrate. The semiconductor substrate comprises a first active region establishing a first image sensor, said semiconductor substrate further comprising an additional active region, different from said first active region. The additional active region establishes or is part of an additional sensor which is not an image sensor. And the at least one optics substrate comprises for said first image sensor at least one lens element for imaging light impinging on the optical apparatus from a front side onto the first image sensor. Preferably, at least two or rather at least three image sensors are provided, such that a computational camera can be realized. The additional sensor may comprise, e.g., an ambient light sensor and/or a proximity sensor.
