Abstract:
An imaging lens assembly focuses light from indicia in a working range of distances along an optical path onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The lens assembly includes a negative spherical aberration component and an aperture stop that together are operative for extending the working range.
Abstract:
A compact imaging lens assembly focuses light from indicia along an optical path onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The lens assembly includes a pair of end focusing lenses of substantially a same size and spaced apart along the optical path, an intermediate lens between the end lenses, and an aperture stop between the end lenses.
Abstract:
An adjustable imaging lens assembly focuses light from indicia along an optical path onto a solid-state imager (40) of an imaging reader. The lens assembly (SO) includes a plurality of lenses (52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 64) and an aperture stop spaced apart along the optical path, at least one of the lenses being mounted with multiple freedoms of movement relative to the optical path.
Abstract:
An imaging lens assembly focuses light from indicia in a working range of distances along an optical path onto a solid-state imager of an imaging reader. The lens assembly includes an axicon and an aperture stop that together are operative for extending the working range.
Abstract:
Different aiming light patterns are generated to enable an imaging reader to be pointed directly at a target by employing non-interferometric optical components that are fabricated by molding and machining techniques.
Abstract:
The combination of a rooftop optical element and a soft edge aperture stop, as well as the introduction of a negative spherical aberration in a positive focusing lens, improve working distance and depth of focus in both moving beam and imaging readers for electro-optically reading indicia such as bar code symbols, especially for close-in symbols, and moreover tend to reduce undesirable light intensity modulation in the beam profile thereby improving reader performance.
