Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments disclosed herein describe electromagnetic actuator arrangements having nested carriers. The nested carriers include an intermediate carrier moveably connected to a stationary base, and an inner carrier moveably coupled to the intermediate carrier. The inner carrier may carry an optical component, such as a diffuser, and may move the optical component relative to the stationary base by controlling the movement of the intermediate and/or inner carrier.
