OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING ANS OPTICAL MULTIPLEXER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240053259 titled 'OPTICAL SYSTEM COMPRISING ANS OPTICAL MULTIPLEXER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an optical system that includes an image sensor, a reference sensor, and an optical multiplexer. The optical multiplexer has a first area for receiving a first portion of incoming light and a second area for receiving a second portion of the incoming light, with the second area surrounding the first area. The optical multiplexer directs the first portion of light to the image sensor and the second portion to the reference sensor, and may be in the form of a pinhole mirror.
- The optical system includes an image sensor, a reference sensor, and an optical multiplexer.
- The optical multiplexer has separate areas for receiving different portions of incoming light.
- The first portion of light is directed to the image sensor, while the second portion is directed to the reference sensor.
- The optical multiplexer may be a pinhole mirror.
Potential Applications
- Medical imaging
- Surveillance systems
- Scientific research
Problems Solved
- Efficiently directing different portions of light to different sensors
- Improving image quality and accuracy
Benefits
- Enhanced image sensor performance
- Increased accuracy in measurements
- Versatile applications across various industries
Original Abstract Submitted
an optical system () comprises an image sensor (), a reference sensor (), and an optical multiplexer (). the optical multiplexer defines a first area for receiving a first portion of incoming light and a second area () for receiving a second portion of the incoming light. the second area radially surrounds the first area. the optical multiplexer is arranged to direct the first portion of the incoming light to the image sensor () and the second portion of the incoming light to the reference sensor (). the optical multiplexer may take the form of a pinhole minor ().
