Abstract: A projector assembly includes three coaxially aligned lenses and an aperture stop. The three coaxially aligned lenses include a first lens and, in order of increasing distance therefrom and on a same side thereof, a second lens and a positive meniscus lens. The first lens is a positive lens. The second lens is a negative lens. The second lens is located between the aperture stop and the positive meniscus lens. The projector assembly is one-sided telecentric at a plane proximate the positive meniscus lens.

Abstract: A low-height projector assembly includes a biconvex lens, a converging lens, an aperture stop, and a beam-steerer between the biconvex lens and the converging lens. The biconvex lens has a principal plane, a focal length, and a first optical axis. The converging lens has a second optical axis laterally offset from the first. The beam-steerer is configured to steer light from the biconvex lens to the converging lens. An aperture-stop plane intersects the second optical axis and the aperture stop. On the second optical axis, at least one of a front surface and a back surface of the converging lens is between the aperture-stop plane and the beam-steerer. The axial chief ray's propagation distance from the principal plane to the aperture stop differs from the focal length by less than half the depth of focus of the biconvex lens.

Abstract: A bimodal zoom lens includes three coaxially aligned lenses including a first lens, a third lens, and a second lens therebetween. The first lens is a negative lens, each of the second lens and the third lens is a positive lens. The three coaxially aligned lenses form (i) a first configuration when the second lens and the first lens are separated by an axial distance L11 and (ii) a second configuration when the second lens and the first lens are separated by an axial distance L12, which exceeds axial distance L11. The second configuration has a second effective focal length that exceeds a first effective focal length of the first configuration.
