Abstract: A packaged optical device includes a light source device emitting light to an object surface, a sensor chip receiving reflective light reflected from the object surface, and a non-lens transparency layer located in front of the sensor chip. The light and the reflective light have a first main optic axis and a second main optic axis, respectively, and the first main optic axis and the second main optic axis are configured to form the specular reflection configuration, thereby enhancing images received by the sensor chip. The non-lens transparency layer has a zone passed through by the second main optic axis, and transmittance of the zone is lower than that of other zones of the non-lens transparency layer, thereby preventing the sensor chip from being saturated.

The dongle is wiredly connected to a host and has a first light source for emitting a first light. The mouse is wirelessly connected to the dongle and has a transmitter, a second light source for emitting a second light, an optical sensor and a processor. The optical sensor senses the first light at a first time interval to generate a first sensing signal and then also, senses the second light at a second time interval to generate a second sensing signal. The processor generates a first control signal and a second control signal according to the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, respectively, and transmits them to the dongle via the transmitter so that the host receives the first and second control signals via the dongle.

Abstract: A method of increasing signal-to-noise ratio of a distance-measuring device includes a light-emitting component emitting a detecting light to a measured object during an emitting period for generating a reflected light, a delay period after the light-emitting component emitting the detecting light, a light-sensing component sensing the energy of the reflected light to generate a light-sensing signal, and obtaining a measured distance between the distance-measuring device and the measured object according to the energy of the detecting light and the light-sensing signal. Since the measured distance is longer than a predetermined shortest measured distance, the method can accordingly calculate a proper delay period for ensuring that the reflected light reaches the light-sensing component after the delay period. In this way, the light-sensing component does not sense the background light during the delay period, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the light-sensing signal is improved.
