OPTICAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18147217 titled 'OPTICAL APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an optical apparatus that includes holders for holding optical elements. The holders are arranged in three locations around an optical axis. The apparatus also includes drivers and guide members in specific areas.

  • The optical apparatus includes holders for optical elements.
  • The holders are arranged in three locations around the optical axis.
  • The apparatus includes drivers and guide members in specific areas.
  • The first driver and guide member are located between the first and second axes.
  • The second driver and guide member are located between the first and third axes.
  • The first and second drivers partially overlap each other in the optical axis direction.

Potential Applications:

  • Optical instruments and devices
  • Cameras and imaging systems
  • Microscopes and telescopes
  • Laser systems and optical communication devices

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a stable and precise arrangement of optical elements
  • Ensures accurate positioning and alignment of optical elements
  • Facilitates smooth movement and adjustment of optical elements

Benefits:

  • Improved optical performance and accuracy
  • Enhanced stability and reliability of optical systems
  • Simplified assembly and maintenance of optical apparatus
  • Increased efficiency and precision in optical alignment and adjustment


Original Abstract Submitted

An optical apparatus includes holders configured to hold on a base member a third holding member that holds a third optical element among a plurality of optical elements, and provided at three locations in a circumferential direction around an optical axis when viewed from an optical axis direction, or a holder configured to holding the base member on another member. Where first, second, and third axes pass through the optical axis and holders at the three locations, a first driver and a first guide member are disposed in a first area between the first axis and the second axis, and a second driver and a second guide member are disposed in a second area between the first axis and the third axis. The first driver and second driver are disposed in two areas that at least partially overlap each other in the optical axis direction.
