摘要: An optical assembly includes a plurality of successive optical stages that are configured to transmit light at a variable overall optical power by configuring one or more stages of the successive optical stages. A respective optical stage of the successive optical stages includes an active optical element that is configurable to be in a first state at a first time and a second state at a second time that is distinct from the first time. The active optical element, in the first state, has a first respective optical power for light of a first polarization and a second respective optical power, that is different from the first respective optical power, for light of a second polarization that is orthogonal to the first polarization. The active optical element, in the second state, has a third optical power for light of the first polarization and light of the second polarization.

摘要: The embodiments described herein provide scanners with a modular construction that includes a separately formed scan plate coupled to a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) flexure structure. Such modular scanners, when incorporated into laser scanning devices, reflect laser light into a pattern of scan lines. In general, the modular scanner includes a scan plate that is formed separately from the flexure structure. The scan plate and flexure structure each include coupling features that serve to couple the scan plate to the flexure structure. The flexure structure includes flexure arms that facilitate rotation of the scan plate to reflect laser light into a pattern of scan lines.

摘要: An optical position-measuring device includes a measuring graduation having a measuring graduation period and a scanner movable relative to the measuring graduation. The scanner projects a light pattern having alternating bright and dark regions with a light pattern period onto the measuring graduation. The measuring graduation period differs from the light pattern period such that interaction of the light pattern with the measuring graduation produces a vernier pattern having bright regions and dark regions. The measuring graduation is a phase grating having a line-to-space ratio different from 1:1 and a phase shift between lines and spaces selected such that the zeroth diffraction order is suppressed. The position-measuring device is configured such that, at a position at which the zeroth diffraction order of a bright region is suppressed, a higher diffraction order is deflected and impinges on a detector array in a bright region of the vernier pattern.

摘要: An optical scanner system comprises a housing, a detector contained within the housing configured to produce at least two resolvable azimuth fields-of-view relative to a center-axis of the housing, and an external scanner rotating relative to the center-axis of the housing, and switching between at least two elevations relative to a nominal optical axis of a receiver. Motion of the housing azimuthally results in the receiver producing a continuous coverage pattern at multiple elevations produced by the external scanner.
