OPTICAL TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17955261 titled 'OPTICAL TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an optical transmitting apparatus that includes an array light source and a rotatable scanning mirror. Here are the key points:
- The array light source consists of M*N light sources arranged in a specific pattern.
- The angle between any column of light sources and any row of light sources is predetermined.
- The array light source is positioned on one side of a collimating lens, with its plane perpendicular to the lens' optical axis.
- The distance between the array light source plane and the center point of the collimating lens is equal to the lens' focal length.
- A rotatable scanning mirror is located on the other side of the collimating lens.
- The center point of the scanning mirror's reflective surface is aligned with the optical axis of the collimating lens.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Optical communication systems
- Laser scanning devices
- LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systems
- Optical imaging systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently transmitting optical signals in a specific pattern
- Achieving precise alignment between the array light source and the scanning mirror
- Collimating the light emitted by the array light source for optimal transmission
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved accuracy and precision in optical transmission
- Enhanced scanning capabilities for various applications
- Simplified design and alignment of optical transmitting apparatus
Original Abstract Submitted
An optical transmitting apparatus is disclosed, in the apparatus, an array light source include M*N light sources, and an included angle between any column of light sources in the N columns of light sources and any row of light sources in the M rows of light sources is a preset angle. The array light source is located on a first side of a collimating lens, a plane on which the array light source is located is perpendicular to an optical axis of the collimating lens, and a distance between the plane on which the array light source is located and a center point of the collimating lens is a focal length of the collimating lens. An rotatable scanning mirror is located on a second side of the collimating lens, and a center point of a reflective surface of the scanning mirror is on the optical axis of the collimating lens.
