The time-of-flight depth information may be combined with various camera imaging systems. The camera system may comprise a lens system, prism and a sensor. In another embodiment, the data from two cameras may be combined with the time-of-flight depth information. Yet another embodiment comprises an imaging system with another array of laser diodes followed by a beam splitter and a detection system. The remote sensing system may be coupled to a smart phone, tablet or wearable device, and the combined data may provide three-dimensional information about at least some part of an object.

Abstract: A concealment component for an optical sensor device includes an optical filter and one or more diffusive optical structures. The one or more diffusive optical structures are configured to distribute light in a diffused pattern on an input surface of the optical filter. The optical filter is configured to pass a first set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are associated with a particular wavelength range, and prevent a second set of light beams, of the light distributed in the diffused pattern on the input surface of the optical filter, that are not associated with the particular wavelength range, from passing. Preventing the second set of light beams from passing is to cause the second set of light beams to be directed away from or absorbed by the concealment component in a concealment pattern.

Abstract: An image sensor (3) includes a light receiving surface on which a plurality of pixels are disposed, and detects a signal photon. A memory (42) stores, as a map, a correspondence between a parameter indicating the position of each pixel on the light receiving surface and the wavelength of the signal photon detected by the pixel. A processor (41) executes arithmetic processing for calculating the spectral characteristic of a sample disposed on an optical path of an idler photon. An optical system (21) includes a moving mirror (209) configured to apply modulation to the phase of 10 quantum interference. The processor (41) acquires, from a predetermined number of pixels disposed on the light receiving surface, a variation in a detection intensity of the signal photon generated by the modulation by moving mirror (209), and calculates the spectral characteristic based on the visibility of the quantum interference obtained from the variation and the map.

Abstract: A temperature compensation method for wavelength monitoring using spectrometers on photonic integrated chips and a related temperature-compensated wavelength monitoring device include an optical filter of the chip filters a source signal to provide at least one spectral reference line to a first spectrometer to detect thermal wavelength drifts thereof. At least one spectral line to be monitored is received by the same or another spectrometer of the chip to detect wavelength shifts thereof. The detected thermal drift of the reference line is compared to calibrated thermal drifts for the reference line which is associated with a calibrated thermal drift for the spectral response curve of the spectrometer receiving the spectral line to be monitored. A thermal drift rate for the response curve of the optical filter differs from a thermal drift rate for the response curve of the first spectrometer at least by an amount.
