Integrated structured-light projector
Abstract:
Optoelectronic apparatus includes a substrate and an array of light-emitting elements formed on a semiconductor die and mounted on the substrate, wherein the light-emitting elements are driven by separate, respective conductors, which are formed on the substrate. A controller drives the light-emitting elements selectively by applying drive signals to the respective conductors in order to create a pattern. One or more optical elements are mounted so as to receive light emitted from the array of light-emitting elements and include at least one diffractive optical element (DOE) configured to project the received light from the first optical element so as to create multiple replicas of the pattern, which fan out over a predefined angular range.
